Ein sehr schöner, autobiographisch geprägter Tagebuchroman. Die Charaktere sind so bunt wie die Illustration auf dem Titelbild. 

Je älter der Tagebuchschreiber wird, umso ernster und düsterer wird die Geschichte. Man versteht, warum Menschen ein Land wie Syrien verlassen. Aber auch warum sie es trotz allem vielleicht doch nicht tun.

Die jugendliche Energie und Hoffnung des Erzählers sind sehr rührend. Aber wenn man überlegt, wie es mit Syrien seit 1987 weitergegangen ist, ist es auch sehr traurig.

Wow! Hab mir nicht wirklich etwas von dem Buch erwartet (war die Gratisbuchaktion von Wien). Es hat mich echt umgehauen. Es ist einfach und hält doch so viel. Es spielt in Syrien und schildert den Alltag eines Jugendlichen. Es ist traurig, schockierend und doch voller Lebensfreude. Es ist ehrlich. Man vergisst, dass ein fiktiver Roman ist.
