Comments on Bad Traffic

gripping and fascinating
Offers an insight into Chinese culture, as well as being an unputdownable thriller. I hope there's more to come from Simon Lewis.

Catch a Fish from the Sea (Using the Internet) by Nasreen Akhtar

Catch a Fish from the Sea (Using the Internet)

Insightful and gripping, this is the true story of the realities of searching for a lifetime partner using the internet. It is the powerful memoir of a thirty-something British Muslim woman of Pakistani origin who embarks upon a remarkable journey of the self, society, soul and love.

AroojE's comments on this title

Oh what an experience this book is! Superb read. Magnificent to the core. A friend introduced me to this book. She said if there was one book I had to read, it had to be this one (she knows that I do not get to read for pleasure that much). My friend and I have both been through the issues that this book touches on and we both, like so many out there have hoped for love. But the beauty of this book is that it doesn't matter if you are familar with the issues; this book have the incredible ability to make you understand, make you empathise, make your heart move... What can I say? I am in awe of this book - the contents. the grace, the dignity with which the author handles herself as you let her heart take you through page after page of raw emotion and honesty. This story had to be told it just had to be. And I am glad of the way that it has been. This book has the makings of a best-seller and it wouldn't surprise me if there is a film on the way soon.
