Hi! I don't have a question to ask, but I do want to thank the Admin Dept of Writers & Artists ( & Bloomsbury Publishing ) for sending me the above-mentioned book all the way from London, England to Penang Island, Malaysia.

Thank you so much.

Dear Admin,

Once again, thank you for the book. I am afraid I have to say that I don't enjoy reading it. I don't like the story even if the author won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction. I wondered why the book was banned in the author's home country at first. After reading through half of it and got literally 'sick' with the twisted acts of depravity and sexual violence, I then understood why this book was banned.

No doubt the author was good in the manner he described the twisted acts. Too good I would say to such an extent that I felt 'sick' and uncomfortable and simply do not want to finish reading the book.

Throwing Sparks is certainly not my cup of tea. My apologies for stating the truth i.e. I don't enjoy reading this book.
