*by S***N on May 12, 2015*

This was a very quick read. Interesting plot which could really be applied to many dictatorial regimes around the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Thought provoking
*by P***A on April 22, 2014*

An interesting short fictional book examining the meaning and possibilities of roar (e.g., sound, propaganda, forced civilian marches) and silence (e.g., repression, stillness, absence, death). Set in Syria, the book unfolds with life under a dictatorship and the web of lies and propaganda (i.e., the roar) spun and woven to elevate the status and position of the leader at the detriment of the people. The protagonist is an author who has been banned from publishing his works and is hence forced into "silence" through manipulation in various ways. I thought of this as a Syrian 1984. Thought provoking book.
