    Makes no sense - not an enjoyable read
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2020*

This is the sort of book that I felt I should like - or at least be impressed by - and feel vaguely disappointed with myself that I don't.  Perhaps I'm not clever enough to enjoy it.  That's not a good way to feel at the end of a story.It's a shame because within this book I think there probably is a good story and some good writing.  But the way it is put together makes it nearly unreadable.  Nothing is explained.  Nothing is coherent.  The chronology is mixed up.  The narrator changes without any warning or signal as to who they are.  Most of the time I had no idea who the point of view character was, when it was, or what was going on.  Things happened that I was unsure if were dreams or 'real'.I can't even do a neat plot summary.  There are a number of characters living in an unnamed Arabic speaking state, ruled by a dictator called the imam.  Women are brutally suppressed.  The character Bint Allah - a child or young woman growing up in a children's home - is (possibly) killed for reasons that are unclear to me, or possibly kills the imam, or both.  I literally have no idea.If you like a book to make sense, this won't be for you, as it wasn't for me.  I can take a certain amount of strangeness and ambiguity in a book, and even enjoy it - 'The Unconsoled' for example.  But this is just too random and in trying to follow what was going on I just ended up irritated.  When you read for pleasure, that's not the effect you're looking for.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Insightful
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2020*

The Fall of the Imam by Nawal El Saadawi gives the female perspective of living in an Islamic society where men are superior to women in every aspect. It is not an easy read with numerous religious references and imagery. The message is clear nonetheless about how the Imam by nature of his position feels he is above all humans and can do no wrong. A world where women have no worth and no voice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    amazing
  

*by A***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2014*

Nawal el saadawi is a good writer. i fell sometimes things are lost in translation but a good feminist text to read. invloves corruption, patriarchal control and abuse.
