I received Run Away for free in a Goodreads giveaway - this is my honest review. This book was on the short side, more of a novella than a novel. It features two men from different cultures seeking escape in Bali and their subsequent friendship after a dramatic introduction. Mahir's story was heartbreaking, but Peter's didn't have the same emotional resonance for me. I found it hard to be sympathetic about the problems he brought upon himself, especially after reading about the devastation Mahir...
Great storyline.
I received this as a Goodreads giveaway. I hate giving bad reviews, but I really did not like this book. There isn't a plot, per se. The whole story is written in exposition, even the dialogue, with so many ideas/opinions being expounded on that it becomes impossible to determine what the book is actually supposed to be about. Luck (good and bad), Bali, cats, love (or lust), ethics, and more, are some of the themes. There was little to no character development and by the end, I didn't even care
I very much enjoyed Runaway. The tragic stories of each character and the serenity of the island of Bali create an intriguing contrast that kept me hooked. This novel is very descriptive and the use of language created vivid imagery to the point I could imagine myself in Bali. Although originally written in Turkish, I thought the English translation worked well in this case and had a nice flow. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an original story.
I received a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway.Although I more or less enjoyed the concept, the sloppy writing style hurt this quick read in a huge way. It came across as quite amateur and clunky, and I had a hard time sticking with it despite how short it really was. I definitely see the potential, but there's a definite need for more editing.
I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. Although I liked Mahir's journey, something about the writing style was a little off, or clunky-- maybe it is the translation? His story, of facing the past and starting again, is universal. Unfortunately, when I was reading these heartbreaking things he was going through, I didn't really feel them. I didn't get teary or anything-- I stayed a bit removed, instead of being pulled into the emotions of the story. Peter's story didn't resonate at all-- he cau...
Run away brings the good out of you.It is a novella which tells a naïve story with intense emotions. The author builds two different but somehow similar and emotional characters despite their unmatched backgrounds and parachutes them to exotic Bali where at the end everything clicks. As you hear the separate stories of Mahir and Peter, you feel their sadness and maybe even find yourself in each story in a certain way. They grow a bond for strong friendship which is a bit of a destiny in the myst...
