I reread it any time I'm in the mood for high adventure.(I even have it on audio.) Love Ali and Mahmoud, The city of Jerusalem simply comes alive as do its environs, I really do believe that next to THE BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE, this is King's other masterpiece,Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-32559853617936091772015-06-23T09:51:28.677-07:002015-06-23T09:51:28.677-07:00Yes, with some authors the fill-in-the-gap books f...Yes, with some authors the fill-in-the-gap books feel like they were searching for some sort of idea, any sort of idea.
