this was given to me free by netgalley for a honest review.. really enjoyed this book loosely based on the authors own experiences in Beirut in the early 1980's and liked how the book took to you to the heart of the city with the backdrop of a civil war and how destroying that it for a society in turmoil but however people still exist and have the same emotions of love betrayal. the more descriptive parts of the book where the author is doing the voiceover parts for the film is quite graphic about the loss of life and torture.
