Summary: A new image of genies
Comment: I like this book very much. It has been over 10 years since I read it and some of the graphic images are still with me. The myth of genies usually is one of benevolence. This genie is not a benevolent genie. It kept my attention because as a youth, my interest in mythology was a fascination I have never outgrown. Don't look too hard for hidden meanings, it is a book meant to entertain. You will learn a thing or two about many things associated with genies not commonly added to modern interpretations.

Summary: Interesting and unfulfilling.
Comment: This book is not a bad one by any means. The oddity of the various identities/meanings of the character are intriguing as well as the search for the truth of what happened. The way the various events are tied and and switched about to make, in essence, three stories is nice. However, all I really left with from the book is a bit of a hollow feeling. Too much ambiguity to find answers, and too little depth to find fulfillment. Perhaps I read too fast or overlooked the point, but to me it was simply a good writer flexing his literary muscles for show.
