Wonderfully weaved story of past and present life
Elik Shafak has a beautiful way of writing very delicate narratives. In this case, it's a story about an indecisive Turkish woman reminiscing about her past mistakes and confusions, attempting to reconcile her faith and her disbelief at every given turn.

She is now a housewife with children, when she vowed never to be such, and she has issues with her religion and questioning her belief after living between a devoutly Muslim mother and a secular father. These issues rise up again when she studies a "God" seminar at Oxford and she is pitted against her atheist Iranian friend, her Muslim housemate and her enigmatic older professor.

It is a remarkably contemporary story, weaving political attributes and current affairs. Intriguing but could have a been a little shorter.

the underlying message
slow paced (1 more)
maybe boring for those who aren't interested in public affairs
Hanks and Streep are an amazing duo
Being a journalism student I thought I better see this because it relates to my studies. So it's not the type of film I would see usually. It is boring in parts, and a bit slow paced.
But the acting from Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep will always make up for anything. They are two of the best actors of all time, and this film is no different.
The underlying message is great, that the press should hold powers to account. It made me feel more empowered as a person, and as a journalist.
However, it also made me realise that a lot of the modern press has forgotten this.

I cannot believe how boring this book is. I've always been fascinated by the Black Plague and the time period so I was rather excited to find this book. I wish I had looked through it before purchasing it as it has been a complete waste of time. It is the least engaging book I've ever read. Even Where's Waldo has more intrigue and adventure. I am halfway through it and I simply cannot remember anything that was written. None of the author's stories makes any sense. It's just pretentious drivel and as much as I hate to do it, I am going to throw the book away instead of finishing it and will NEVER buy anything from this author again. It's a sad state of affairs when an author cannot make one of the most interesting subjects come to life.
