Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33
Ali Hassan, an Egyptian-American businessman in Brooklyn, reveals a secret past of activism and heartbreak in an attempt to keep his hot-headed teenaged grandson from making the greatest mistake of his life. In a journey that begins amid the high-wattage glamour of the sets of Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments and leads to the deserts of Cairo and beyond, Ali describes how he landed a dream job as DeMille’s personal assistant and then found himself enmeshed in events that changed the course of history.

Well narrated and worth the read

Excellent read. The storyline itself is fairly linear - which leads to the appeal of the book. You don’t wander off on numerous side stories and plots which forces the writer to keep the main characters fresh and interesting.
I felt the narrator did an incredible job. Great accents and easily identifiable characters.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

My First Completed Stephen King Novel

- The Stand
- By: Stephen King

Long read - amazing detail
Reviewed: 02-28-21
An immense amount of detail given for nearly every scene - I love getting a feel for each scene with small details and spot on, original similes. Narrator does a phenomenal job playing the multitude of characters.
Our current COVID situation adds an extra element to this book...
40+ hours - too long? I don’t think so. Never was I bored waiting for the next scene.
