I read THE KINGDOM and couldn't put it down...suspenseful...original...this one is special in every way., Jo Nesbo remains the king of Scandicrime., Superbly written and magnificently chilling, This being Nesbo there is plenty of deception, death and partial decapitation to come. No Harry Hole this time, but still a sombre delight. There are shades of a Nordic Ripley, or maybe Virginia Andrews on aquavit. Choose your poison, The Kingdom is a stunning novel from a storyteller with few equals

I've read this amazing book and was mesmerized by the depth of the analysis. I was not prepared for that. Reminiscent of the writings of Edward Said, Neville Alexander, Frantz Fanon, and Amilcar Cabral. It deconstructs the facade of the two-state solution and proposes an alternative one. Strongly recommended
I started reading the book and I didn't love it at first but as I read more, I started to really enjoy it. I think Holly Webb writes very creative books. I loved this specific book because I also like wildlife and saving animals.
Every page is magical. The characters, the story line. The author transports you into a world of magic and the powers it holds to alter life. I didn't want thisvery original story to end and be brought back to real life.
Die hoofkarakter, Karo, gaan met groot verwagting aan boord van ’n luukse passasierskip vir ’n weeklange vaart tussen Port Elizabeth en Bazaruto. Dit was veronderstel om ’n groep van vier pare te wees, vriende van Karo se geliefde, Kabous. In effek bevind Karo en Adam hulself egter as los lote, terwyl sy vriendin en ook Kabous, afwesig is. Uiteraard skep dit ’n platvorm vir interessante verwikkelinge.
Daar is ’n dus ’n aansienlike klomp randkarakters, wat in-diepte ontwikkeling van die karakters uitdaag. Die leser kry wel ’n goeie lopie saam met Karo, van ’n suksesvolle model wat haar eie belangstellings tersyde stel om by Kabous in te val, tot ’n meer dinamiese persoon in eie reg.
Oulike alliterende titel, wat herinner aan Louise van der Merwe se reeks wat begin het met Kiekies en Koffie, skep ’n duidelike verwagting van romanse. Die boek is uitgegee onder die sub-genre, Reis, deur Romanza, die gewilde druknaam van Lapa Uitgewers.
