Review: Almost a really good book
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 9, 2014
I was contemplating this review almost the whole time I was reading this book, and I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars several times.  If Amazon allowed half stars, I would have given it 3 1/2.It was a pretty good plot, and was well written.  I liked the characters, and the author did a good job communicating the essence of modern day Egypt. Any grammatical errors were within the bounds of what seems to be typical for kindle formatting.The areas that made me hesitate in my rating were twofold.  First, the relationship between the two main characters was rushed and was not developed enough in time and/or shared experiences before it became all encompassing in the minds of the characters.  And secondly, the plot did not have a strong climax. Although things became more suspenseful toward the end, there was never a breath catching moment where I worried that they may not make it out unscathed.At the end of the book I felt somewhat satisfied, though not elated.  I would read a sequel if it became available, although it would not be a book I would rush to buy, and I would not pay over $3 for it.
