Scott Hess _cott_llen_ess — I was fascinated with this spare yet elegantly written coming of age novel because so much of the story parallels the author, Hisham Matar’s own life. In this semi-autobiographical story, Nuri, a young boy of 14 years, loses his father (a diplomat and dissident living in political exile in Egypt) when he is suddenly abducted and “disappeared” by some unnamed foreign government. The novel recounts the next 10 years of Nuri’s life as he uncovers pieces of his father’s mysterious past and attempts to come to terms with the knowledge that he may be gone for good. Hisham Matar based this novel on much of his own personal experiences. His father was kidnapped from the family home in Cairo and then handed over and imprisoned by the Libyan Gadhafi regime. Except for one letter smuggled out in 1995, he was never heard from again. In this story, details of the political plot and Nuri’s father’s whereabouts were purposely obscure as I feel they should be in order to mirror this author’s personal angst and lack of closure when his own father was kidnapped and permanently “disappeared” from his young life. I love this kind of writing…spare with no fillers. I was absolutely captivated by this lyrical and sometimes surreal gem of a story.

Jull Weber zubajw67a2 — ** spoiler alert ** I have been reading Melissa Marr ever since I came across Wicked Lovely when it was recommended to me on Amazon. She is a great Author, not too cliche, her writing grabs you, and doesn't let go. The characters are great! They seem alive and relatable (even the Dark court faery, Niall). Usually, I'd give this book a five out of five. But there was one "small" thing that happened in the book that niggled at me which made me give the book four out of five stars. *Potential Spoiler alert* If Seth had done so much research on faeries and knew a lot about them. How could he NOT know that time passes differently in faery than in the mortal world? It's faery 101! It confused me and had me yelling at the character inside of my head till the end of the book.
