I found this a very interesting and compelling book about a subject that I’m trying to give a face to. Cat

The writing style was amazingly good. All the things are so well connected to each other… Sanchit Chauhan, India

I think the author should be read and commended for writing this novel. I think he told a side to the story that none of us will ever actually get to know. Highly recommend this read. Nicole T Harmon, USA

You will not be able to set aside this one without some remnants of all that was written there lingering even if in an unsettling manner. Wanda Cooper, USA

…a most harrowing story of destruction and death. Absltmom, USA

Anger, love, hate, despair, hopelessness, hopefulness…. These are just a few of the emotions you’ll feel when reading this amazing book! Donna, USA

The author has very nicely and boldly narrated the struggles of boys who were forced to become Taliban soldiers and the political developments in Pakistan, the love story of Raza and Parveen. Antara, India

The glimpses of politics, societal dynamics, human interaction and relationships are eye-opening and thought-provoking for me, albeit depressing. Sathepine, USA

The stark contrast between Raza’s life, and the entitled American reporter, Rachel, is portrayed well, and reveals the depth of this story with compassion and humanity. Sassy Brit, UK

The shifts in narrator conveys the author’s amazing capacity to delve into the mind of a man or woman, entwined in the web of war, unraveling the fear, love, and passion we can grasp universally. A MUST read. Liese A. Ricketts, USA

I personally loved the writing style, it’s very simple & absorbing with outstanding narration. I am so glad that I came across this book. I enjoyed every bit of it and it’s worth the time. Priyanka Randive, India

The book reminds us of so many people who are stuck in situations and they are just a fugitive on a poster for the rest of the world to see and no one knows what happened with them. Sukaina Majeed, India

There was so much I appreciated about this book, alongside the story itself. JAH, USA

The author did an amazing job of creating a story that is historical, fiction, and yet, full of facts. The book highlights conflicts, cultural clashes, religious issues, blurry borders, etc., and the history of the three countries, and how all lead characters’ lives were entangled in “Entangled Lives”. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. Books are my favorite human beings!, India

Omer’s is deft yet with a nice delicacy that means he never hammers home his ideas or feels as though he is trying to hard to educate his readers. Instead I appreciated feeling as though I had space to make up my own mind. Stephanie Jane (Literary Flits), UK

Entangled Lives grabbed my attention from the first page and made me want to read until the book was finished. The characters jumped off the pages of the book. Kathy L., USA

This wonderful book puts into perspective exactly who the enemy is, and it is not the young man or woman forced into situations over which they have no control. The Elite Book Group, UK

The story of Raza, the Pakistani forced into fighting for the Taliban and Rachel, the American journalist with her own set of problems is a forceful depiction of life and humanity. Myron, USA

Entangled Lives brings alive the war in Afghanistan through the well drawn characters. It is a haunting story. TVA7321, USA

Having grown up in the US, my exposure to events surrounding the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was limited to what I heard and read in the American press. Reading Entangled Lives was an eye-opening experience for me. Craig Reubelt, USA

Very well written and I recommend reading it, but a word of caution, the incidents of brutality are not for the faint hearted. Amazon Customer, USA

Entangled Lives has been the most diverse and unique read of this year for me. Overall, I’m glad I read this book because it gave me a perspective of a world I otherwise might not have learned much about. Fictionaltiff, USA
