To Destroy Jerusalem
Publisher: HK Books
ISBN: 9781723912351
This is the first book I’ve read
in the series and had no problem reading it as a stand-alone novel. All
characters were adequately introduced requiring no prior book knowledge.
The explosive relationship and
plight between the Israelis and the Palestinians was fairly addressed. Though
an Israeli agent, Shai Shaham understood and empathized with the Palestinians
issues. Through his eyes I furthered my acceptance of the delicate situations
and relationships that exist today.
Impressive was the detailed
history and geographical depictions of the area which added to the realism and provided
a continuous image of the location and environment as the story progressed.
Although I know little about constructing a nuclear bomb, I felt the fear,
chills, and suspense -- the author’s explanation was certainly credible.
My only negative was that I found
some sentences awkward, requiring me to reread them several time before I finally
assumed the meaning and continued on.
Overall, I enjoyed this novel. It
was suspenseful and yielded essential information required to better understand
and envision the issues between the Israelis and Palestinians.
