Night Journey: A Novel9 reviews
Murad Kalam
Simon & Schuster, 2003
Excellent Young Writer
+ Fantastic Read for the New Year!
+ Impressive debut novel by a frequent contributor to NPR.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which describes people, places, and events completely outside anything I have ever (or will ever for that matter) experience. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a gripping story.
