The Seventh Heaven: Supernatural Tales (2006) - Plot & Excerpts

This novel captures you even when you're on your guard I was taken in by the first page. And it became one of my favorites in the 11th. Not only this novel is full of wisdom. It's witty and makes you think (in a good way!) I have often stopped to contemplate the lines, the words and thoughts behind this masterpiece. And every time I reach va conclusion I realized that I had nothing after all. I found it very amusing. You laugh and think while flipping this hungrily to know what comes next. It was a fun rideThe novel mixed zen teachings, Arabic heritage and melodrama. The events are so amusing. The plot was carefully written as not to make it look complicated. I could see this in a movie production... I wonder if it is.The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because some of the other stories were a bit dull or mystifying.

What do You think about The Seventh Heaven: Supernatural Tales (2006)?

I had originally thought of giving two stars to this collection of short stories, but after further reflection realized that because of their sheer pointlessness and lack of imagination they had earned a single star. Even the headline short story, "They Seventh Heaven," which makes an attempt at a plot and some sort of meaning, is ultimately uninteresting. The author is not telling me something profound by putting the souls of historical figures into the bodies of common people and a feeble attempt at enigmaticness at its end simply comes off as shallow. And that would have been the high point of all of these stories.
