Review –
This book will test your patience. The book is fast paced yet you might feel that the story is going no where. But by the end of the book everything will make sense.
The first half of the story will keep you engaged with small but significant incidents which will leave you in shock and will amaze you at the same time. The book is error free and has fluency in language and gives an insight to various thoughts and beliefs in Islam religion.
Few events in this book left me in speechless. And for the matter of fact that this story’s time line is year 2050 makes it more thought provoking. Being a very fresh take on such topic, the story is not so predictable. It was difficult to guess what will happen next. But the story goes on seamlessly and effortlessly. The narrative kept me engaged and the way A.K. Asif have penned down the words gave quite a unique experience to read such a book. Especially the conclusive chapter. Filled with philosophies, the last chapter somewhere gave me a sense of relief and making all my reading time worth it!
Told you, this book will test your patience but by the end, everything will make sense which is exactly what A.K.Asif said in this book.
Making the statement and it’s understanding on takings of Hell and Heaven, Ismael is going to keep you on the edge to find out if such stages even exist for which humans had started killing humans to ensure their place at the highest rank in Paradise.
Readers wanting to read a different story to give a new dimension to your though, count on this book.
