I know it's only March, but this book is definitely a contender for favorite book read this year. Was the writing 100% perfect? No, there were tweaks to some grammar I would make here or there.
However, overall, this book was fantastic. The story drew me in and I was able to read it in two days, taking it with me to work so I could read it on my 15 minute and lunch breaks.
It's a fairly easy read, although the content can be a bit heavy. The story is about a man recounting his life's story and the experiences he went through as a child through young adulthood to a friend who asked him to write about everything that happened to him that was horrible to see if really ending his life is worth it. The author takes you on a journey through Adam's experiences growing up in Iraq during the rise and regime of Saddam Hussein.
It gave me an understanding and appreciation for what life was like or might have been like for people over in Iraq during that period of time, a time in which I was a child myself. I always appreciate books that make me think and give me a perspective of someone else, especially when it is written well and has an engaging story line.
Overall, I feel satisfied and happy with how this book ended as well. Sometimes books have endings that just ruin the rest of the book, but the author ended this book well. Throughout the book he kept a unique writing style and carried his story until the end.
It's a definite recommendation for me if you're looking for a new book to go ahead and give It Was You a chance! ( )
