Week Thirty One: Frankenstein in Baghdad


Umm.

Not sure about this. It was very good in it's portrayal of a bunch of people, though most seem superfluous to the larger story which it was very hard to keep track of.

However it did sound very much like middle eastern people tell stories, at least based on my experience. Every person has a backstory that tells you something about them, something hidden and something related to the thing that just happened.

Dark though, and oddly compelling even if it ended abruptly with the old 'and it's all true as told to me the author' bit.

Not particularly funny, but definitely interesting and powered by the image and sense of war.
