Negative Positive
Title: masterfully constructed and pointedly relevant
Review: Not only is "On the Hills of God" a superior piece of literature, but it is also an excellent historical source. Very few Americans are familiar with the history of the turmoil in the Middle East. Fawal's book provides even the most learned historian with a glimpse into the conflict he might not ordinarily get. Fawal gives a balanced, relatively non-partisan depiction of the birth of the Arab-Jew conflict through the eyes of an embattled teenager by using symbolism and imagery reminiscent of J.D. Salinger. I highly recommend this book to those looking to read a great story and those searching for a deeper understanding of the tragedy in the Middle East.
