What Do Readers Say?
There are themes such as fiction, history and love in the book. When I read books like this, I say “I wish there was a movie and I would watch it”, and when I read this book, I said “I wish there was a movie and I would watch it”. It is definitely a great book that everyone should read.
Hello everyone. I’m here with a fantastic book to share with you. It was a book that I thoroughly enjoyed and remained curious about until the very last page. The back cover describes it as a fictional novel, but I don’t really think it fits that genre; it felt more like a blend of history and adventure intertwined.
Reminding me of The Da Vinci Code, which I read and watched when it first came out, the excitement does not end until the very last page. The plot moves from Milan and Venice to Istanbul and ends again on the island. Thus, it extends my list of must-see places a little longer.
If there is a book that contains both #Cyprus, #adventure, #mystery, and also #fantastic #mythological elements, wouldn't you read it? #kodadibarnabas attracted me with its title and cover, and it gave me a reading experience that made me say that I was glad it did.
Our author has a very fluent pen. He starts reading the book as soon as you start, you're in that adventure. It was an extremely exciting book, which increased my reading speed, I could not put it down. Health to our author's pen.
When I went to Cyprus, I saw this shipwreck and was very impressed. When it became the subject of the book, I read it with curiosity. I was very excited while reading about Kemal and Leyla's journey from Cyprus to Italy, Venice and Istanbul. I could not put the book down to learn the secret. It shocked me with its ending. I am very curious about the village of Pano Lefkara mentioned in the book, I will definitely visit it.
You will love this adventurous, breath-taking, and thrilling narrative, enriched with historical touches and different rhythms, extending to Mevlana and the Mevlevi lodge, and further enhanced by excerpts from the Quran and the Bible.
While I was reading, I read with great curiosity, saying what will happen in the next chapter. I recommend it to you too. Have a pleasant reading.
Some books are truly written with inspiration, and they draw you in differently. I've come across an adventure-filled, fluid book that makes you want to turn each page with curiosity. I really loved the author's style; they've crafted a wonderful plot through thorough research, leaning more towards historical adventure. It blends Mevlevi teachings, religious history, and a touch of fiction, with verses adorning the beginning of each chapter. I strongly recommend this book to those who enjoy this genre. I was already very curious about the island, and after reading this enjoyable novel, I hope I’ll get the chance to visit, knowing all the places to explore.
'Codename Barnabas' managed to take its place among the books I read with curiosity. In the fiction category, the novel sheds light on the history of Cyprus and drags us after the secrets that have been hidden for centuries. If you like books full of mystery and secrets, you should check this book out.
The book was so good, so many things happened towards the end that I was so curious. I liked the author's writing language, I was curious about what would happen from the beginning. The secrets I learned shocked me a little, that's another thing. But what I liked the most was the surprise aspect of the book. There were so many unexpected events that I couldn't stop wondering. The book really deserves to be read. Also, the historical aspect of the book was very beautiful and it added so much to me. You will choose that aspect when you read it.
I am with you with a fiction novel from the pen of Kaan Cenk Adasoy. I think it was a work that you will read with excitement until the end. Danger and adventure will always be with you... I was happy to read our work in which history, religion, fiction and love are covered. I strongly recommend you to read it. Even if there was a movie, I would be the first to watch it...
