Rating:
Summary: The best novel I have read in the past few years
Review: A totally absorbing tale with the most lovable heroine. Gun blends history with fictional yet full-fledged characters, and creates a wonderful athmosphere.

Rating:
Summary: A CLASSIC
Review: Any dedicated person can do the same amount of research and reading to write a book, but only very few can combine that with a big heart in an extremely clever way. This book certainly has everything in correct proportion; especially the humour. I honestly feel embarassed to have been advised this book by a foreign friend.

Summary: A book to bring to the lonely island
Review: If you want to lose yourself for a while and enter into the world of adventures, islam culture, romance and fairy tales, this is exactly the book for you. It is one of the most capturing stories that I have ever read and I have just bought a pile to give away for all my book loving friends. I hope that more books will follow by this marvellous writer

Summary: Great! Compelling! Fun!
Review: This is the best book I've read in a long, long while. I picked it up, planning to read a chapter before bed, and instead stayed up until three, polishing it off. Who could resist a wry, spunky Turkish heroine travelling to far-off times and places? Not to mention the colorful cast of supporting characters she meets along the way.... I'm giving copies to all my friends.
