Boring. Just doesn’t seem like a really good book. Got bored between the first few pages

Intersting Story. I voluntarily received an ARC of Exit West by Mohsin Hamid in exchange for an honest review. Exit West is not my typical genre for pleasure reading. Honestly, the only books similar to this one I've read were on assigned reading lists in high school, but the blurb intrigued me, so I decided to give it a chance. Hamid's prose beautifully tells the captivating and trying story of Saeed and Nadia during a conflict that is still currently our world. It was very interesting to read about the conflict in the middle east and the refugee debate from someone on the other side. This book will definitely make you think about some of the current issues in our world.

Exit West. Interesting read.

Not my cup of tea. My book club read this book and most members enjoyed the story. I didn’t. It was one of those magical fantasy books. Not my cup of tea.

Great plot ideas, but bland writing. I love the ideas he plays with in the novel, and the whole plot and theme is very nicely thought of. But the magical realism feels odd, and the dynamic between the two central characters flows very blandly. It missed the sparks I was expecting from it, but it’s short read and worth a shot for anyone who wants to read a less eventful version of Underground Railroad. I really liked the female protagonist though, would recommend reading only to get to know her lol.

A clear look into migrant’s struggles with a magical twist. This is a clear and sobering look into the struggles faced by refugees and displaced migrants. Yet if you are looking for a completely non-fiction story this is not it. At first I was confused until I realized fantasy/ magic, romance and historical fiction-ish could be woven into one book. Although odd at first I think “Exit West” is worth a read.

The ties that bind. Lovely. The words and cadence move slowly but bring attention to the emotions. He perfectly describes relatable emotions from characters whose lives are far removed from my experience - from the intensity and vividness of first love through fear and bonding, and the challenge of separation and independence. It’s just lovely and will read more of Hamid’s work.

A story relevant to our current crisis. A well written story that sheds light on the personal struggles and difficulties endured by so many immigrants of war.

A Gem. A gem of a novel. Thoroughly global in it’s scope and utterly human at it’s essence.

Pretentious and devoid of characters.. Hamid's "Moth Smoke" was a revelation; "Reluctant Fundamentalist" was a confirmation: "How to Get Filthy..." was a transformation. This, however, is an abomination.

Boring. Hardly any dialogue.
