5.0 out of 5 stars
A moving, powerful, and recommended book
Abou And The Angel Cohen by Claude Campbell is an original, ironic, humorous, and sometimes tragic novel of conflict in the Gaza Strip in the Middle East, with a plot based in part on a classic 1834 poem "Abou Ben Adhem" about how and angel comes to Abou one night. Problems amount for the modern-day Abou Ben Adhem as family conflicts and a looming political situation...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting but a little too contrived
This book is a good read but a little too consciously profound and the Angel Cohen a little too Reminiscent of John Travolta in the movie "Michael," That said, it still lends some interesting insights into the conflict into the Miccle East, expecially the Palestinian side of the story.
