Official Review: Broken Wall by Baland Iqbal

[T_stone]

I like to learn about several religions; this gives me a level of knowledge about other people's religion, which gives me an idea of how to relate with them without causing rifts. Thanks for the informative review.

Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts, T_stone.

P.S. I love your avatar. Is that your baby? So cute!

You're welcome. He's my nephew.

I'm not sure this is the right book for me at the moment. I think it probably requires too much of my brain power. Still, I do admire the author for putting his views forth in such an interesting way. Thanks for the review.

Yes, it does require quite a mental exercise. Thanks for the visit, Sarah!

Definitely an interesting read. I'm not quite sold on getting it right now, although I might pick it up a bit later. I think these days I'm a bit tired (probably end of the year), so I'm trying to read lighter books that don't need a lot of mental gymnastics.

Btw, I'm still around, just trying to catch up on things (real life got in the way, etc.)

Hmmm, reading about the devil might be less stressful, LOL! Glad to know you are still here.

I'm not very good with symbolic writing. I feel a bit slow when it comes to searching for deeper meanings. Maybe I'll get wiser in my old age.
This book does sound fascinating, though. I always look forward to reading your reviews. They really are wonderful!

You never fail to tickle me pink, my friend! Thanks for the visit and sweet words. Baland is a romantic, I must say.

it is quite sad that the main theme of the story reflects the reality on the ground as per now. People are highly religious intolerant. We rarely realize the fact that there is strength in diversity. I loved the review and i am looking forward to finding out how the three deviating stories ended.

Thanks for the visit, Franc93. I encourage you to read the book. The three endings will make you think; the whole book does that!

Hi
I have always viewed those that kill for their Gods as the problem of the religious world, which in turn has ugly effect on the political and economic development of the countries involved.

Religious fanatism is root of all blood shed across all religious platforms. From the great crusaders to the Holy wars and even further to the great conquest of Rome and other empires.

If only religion could be separated from politics and social institutions, economic development would be seen for what it is: a source of livelihood and not a tool in the hands of political /religious heads.

That is the conundrum that seemingly defies solving. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Claxical.

Thanks for another insightful review. I am glad you mentioned a glossary is included, as it can be confusing when a story contains foreign words. Despite the editing issues, the story sounds interesting.

It's indeed interesting and intriguing. Religion is a difficult mystery to ponder. It can move one to both love and hate. It has been the cause of both peace and war.

Thanks for your visit.

This sounds like such a deep read. It must have been tough on the love between Sania and Daleep as a result of parental opposition. I'm not keen on reading about religious ideologies though, so I will pass, but I'm glad you found the read worthwhile. Thanks for the lovely review submission on it.

Hi, girl! Merry Christmas! Thanks for caroling.
