Review: Heart breaking - I bought this book thinking that it would be quite plainly a middle eastern Romeo and Juliet but it was much more than that. There were lines of text that rang with such truth you would have sworn they were from some Holy book. When I picked up this book I couldn't put it down until I finished it which wasn't hard to do with it being such an easy read. The story itself is so tragic and truly speaks to the human emotions of unrequited love and desires that we are denied but can never fully let go of. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who has ever had another touch your heart only to lose that person for one reason or another. Oh and one last thing Layla means night, beauty of the night, or dark beauty (depending on interpretation) and Qays (Majnuns birth name) means moon, they were destined to be lovers. Shalom and Salaam my friends.
Review: An Interesting Read - This story reminds me heavily of Romeo and Juliet, only I can actually believe this romance is deep and developed. There are a few words western readers will be unfamiliar with, but most of the time these words are explained. The language is dense and detailed, much in the way Tolkien's writing is dense in his work. On that note, this is not for casual readers who like quick exposition without a lot of details. If you want to read a beautifully worded love story from a region most are unfamiliar with, however, I'd recommend this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book
*by M***E on June 19, 2022*

The story of Layla & Majnun is the original Romeo & Juliet but better! I love this story & songs have been written in honor of it including Eric Clapton’s “Layla” and the new Cd by Tedeschi Trucks Band; “I Am the Moon”.🌟
