I- uh... idk what to even say about this one. Wow. You're best going into it with no information, thats what I did and I'm glad. The plot twists were incredible. I did figure one of them out about halfway through but the story is phenomenal. The writing style is different than anything I've read recently, but in a great way. The depictions of emotions were gripping. Really liked this one.

When I started to watch this one, I was a bit sceptical I must say. But the second episode started to get me and after that, I was fully into it, trying to watch as many episodes in a row as possible. Very well worked story about an uneasy part of the history that actually helped saving many lives. It's gripping, it's entertaining and it's real;+)

I found the book both gripping and chilling.
The plot draws you in and you see through the eyes of the main charecter, Xavier March, how a corrupt society has grown and encompassed everything and everyone. You can feel the suffocating effect that the state has produced among it's citizens with the underlying fear leading to complience and all too frighteningly you can imagine how easily this can occur.
The end is disturbing, brutal and produces the perfect finalle.

Deeply moving, the horrors of separation
A well deserved Pulitzer Prize for Hisham Matar, who writes bravely about the terrible experiences his family faced under the Gaddafi regime and not knowing the fate of his diplomat father. It is gripping and terrifying to read how easy it was for the authorities to arrest and kill Libyans at will even on foreign soil and the complicity of western countries that allowed it to happen. Truly a harrowing and stirring read.
