Title: crackin' good read
Review: Extrenely well crafted story. There have been questions raised about exactly how factual the events are, but really, I don't care about that stuff. This is one of those books that if you start in the morning you could finish by the evening because the pages seem to turn themselves. William Hayes had help writing it, though. But it's extremely well-done: he doesn't get into his backstory too much, doesn't drift off into politics or human rights, doesn't talk about culture or philosophy. Just sticks to the adventure. There are no slow parts.Two things:1. I'm glad he put the sodomy scene in there. If he hadn't, I simply wouldn't have trusted this.2. Shame that William Hayes eventually went back to Turkey and apologized for besmirching their reputation. No way, man. Forget them. As someone once wrote, you can judge how civilized a people are by how they treat their prisoners.
