review 1: I thought this book was amazing! Although I don't enjoy reading non-fiction books, I really enjoyed this one! This book was really heart touching, it might be a bit intense to read, especially the fact that I'm from Egypt, the country the book talks about, but I really enjoyed it overall. This book talks about the day the revolution started at Egypt, which was at the Tahrir and how people were killed including families!!!It also has the tweets Arab's tweeted during the revolution. But, there are always good and bad days in life! I would recommend this book to people who are more into Non-fiction and governmental stuff!
review 2: A very good recollection of events on the revolution of Egypt in Tahrir Square. When I say very good, it does not mean that it is conc... moreise. However, it is unique and interesting to enlighten readers in ways that is close to them: social media itself, which in this case, Twitter. It is a good way of representing the revolution contextually: when it happened, how it is organised, etc. What made it more enjoyable is that they included humorous remarks. Some might not like the format, especially when they decided they want to publish the tweets without correcting the spelling & grammar mistakes, but that shows how they want to update the events quickly. The character limit set in twitter updates make the tweets full of emotion - people would concentrate everything that they see and experience in just a few words. It might not be a proper history book, but it is really a unique one. Not only it contains a storyline, it has all the literary elements that is needed in a story - suspense, climax, etc. A new literary experience indeed! less
