review 1: Definitely one of my favourite books. Regardless of what people say about this book and all sort of controversies that are put forward I shall never be able to forget this book. It changed my perspective of so many things in life. To others this might seem yet another love story but what makes it special is the journey that Haya travels just to learn the right lessons in life and these are the lessons that bring her closer to Almighty. It is her struggle and her steadfastness that makes this book special. It is the references from the Quran and Hadith and especially the riddles from Quran specifically the luna and lunatic references that make this book worth remembering.Just try reading this you won't regret.
review 2: I don't know how I feel about this book. W... moreith all the hype I expected better I guess. Nimra Ahmed ka bhi ek formula hai:- female protagonist, whose beauty knows no bounds aur jiski izzat pe koi na koi ek bar tau zaroor haath dalay ga, and who goes through an unbelievablely positive and religious journey: Mehmal, Haya;- male protagonist from security forces: Humayun, Major Ahmed;- A religious mentor: Farishtay, Ayeshay;- A kid: Taimur, Baharay Gul;- An out of this world sareela khandaan (even by desi standards!);- Death of a very close someoneKhair even with the formula, there were times it was so amazing when I literally couldn't put it down but then some parts were unnecessarily lengthy and highly unrealistic! I just skipped through those aur story pe koi farq nai para. Would it kill writers to properly edit their stories?I did not like Haya AT ALL. I don't know why. Ek tau jitni baar usne "aanson andar le ke" "shanay uchkaye" thay hairat thi ke uske andar sailaab aa ke shanay uchak ke bahar nahi gir gaye. Ya uske "aanson ka phanda" halaq mai lag ke woh marr nahi gayi. Each and every time these words appeared on paper I got so irritated I wanted to slap someone! Hadh hai! Also, her journey and personality change was totally forced.. I mean for the love of God.. in less than 5months uske saath woh woh hogaya jo logon ke saath 50 saalon mai nai hota and she was a student of Sharia Law! *smh*And this idea that "people should solve their own problems" was foolish and absurd esp. for girls. I mean it maybe right for routine issues but the kind that she got stuck in she should've mentioned it to her brother or father. There are times when girls do get in trouble and they should take their family in confidence esp. if they are not at fault. I remember reading about a girl who was repeatedly raped by a guy for years because he blackmailed her with some comprising pictures and she was too afraid to tell her family. I loved DJ and I missed her badly when she left. After that I was only interested in Jehan Sikander (btw what is with our Urdu female writers: Salaar Sikander, Jehan Sikander .. dono mere dil ke sikander :P) and boy was it a pleasure reading about him! I loved the scenes between Haya and Major Ahmed (teehee!) ^_^Baharay Gul was sweet. Reading about Turkey was fun. If I ever revisit this story it'll only be to reread conversations between Haya/DJ/Jehan and Haya/Major Ahmed :D less
