Summary: Undoubtedly the most horrible book ever!
Comment: So vast the Prison is indeed just that: a prison! the writing is so boring and confining. this book however does act as a great sleep aid, everytime i just held the book i fell asleep! save your money, but more importantly your valuable time; no one really cares about this topic anyway.

Summary: So Vast the Prison
Comment: A somewhat difficult book to read, unless one is familiar with the French post-modernist style (Derrida, Cixous) however well worth the effort. This is an ambitious book that explores the power-relationships between men and women, husbands and wives, colonists and colonized, French and Arabs, Arabs and Berbers as well as the power implicit within spoken and written language, using a poetic, somewhat cinematic style (Djebar is also a film-maker)that meanders between what is apparently a semi-autobiographical narrative and (somewhat)straightforward historical writing, focusing on both modern and ancient Algeria.
This is not a book that one can skim through and still understand: however the end result is insightful and haunting and leaves one wishing for more.

Summary: A Very Boring Story
Comment: This book is a waste of paper. It is extremely hard to follow and it actually puts me to sleep when I read it.
