gaynidoking's review against another edition

It was very good and very impactful, however I was not in a stable enough mental state to handle the heavy content and vivid imagery of the violence.

4.0

Great and powerful story. Some stylistic things I would have preferred different such as the POV switches. I also felt like the time jumps could have been handled better but overall a fantastic book and would recommend. I learned a lot from this book.

More people should read this book and realize the history and harm done to the Palestinian people for many generations. While an overall work of fiction it aligns with many real world events. Beautifully written, visceral, and heartbreaking but important.

I loved Mornings of Jenin. I listened to it, and I can only recommend listening to this book. Hearing the names said properly in Arab (I do not speak Arab) and the voice of the narrator, Suzanne Toren, really added to the life this book took into my heart. It's sad, and hard at times to listen to, and gives a whole new perspective to the Palestinian fight, if like me you had just been fed by mainstream media.
