Customer Reviews

Timely and compelling

An excellent read! As others have said, it is hard to put down from the very beginning. Although it is a novel, this book helps you attach the stories of individuals with events from the Middle East and the rest of the world. Very easy reading style, can't believe it is her first novel! I'll be looking for more!

WOW!!

The Other Half Of My Soul is a marvelous read. I could not put it down. The plot held me spellbound. The snake part had me curling in my seat. I could not wait to come home from work to finish it without interruption. I read right through dinner. Not a hunger pain or even a desire to fix something for myself. I could not think about going to sleep. Whew! Suspense right up to the end. I recommend that the whole world read it. I hope there will be a sequel.

A ROLLER COASTER RIDE!

As an avid reader, this is one book that I could not put down. I was hooked from the very first page. The characters were so real that I felt I knew them personally. Bahia Abrams cleverly weaves an incredible love story between a Muslim and a Jew with real issues and actual places in today's world. The Other Half of My Soul is rich with romance, action, and intrigue. I recommend this novel to anyone who is prepared to stay up all night!

Powerful Insight

The author exquisitely revealed the two sides of religion. The positive and the negative. Showing that all religions have similar beliefs in loving and caring and their negative beliefs of fanaticism. The author showed how the fanaticism of religion can tear families apart, tear cultures apart, and tear countries apart. While at the same time, showing how love and acceptance can overcome all differences. This book provides an impactul "wake up" call in a very meaninful way for all. J. C. Land
