The Other Side Of Night. Wow! It broke my brain. I literally don’t believe I can formulate a coherent thought or produce the necessary words to do justice to what I just read. But I will try. It’s a brilliant, genre-busting, inconceivable piece of literature that one does not just read. You experience and consume it with the entirety of your existence while contemplating the meaning of life and your place in the universe.
I’m not going to summarize the plot for two reasons – (1) it’s best to go into The Other Side Of Night with limited or zero knowledge of the story and (2) to reduce the risk of providing even the slightest of spoilers. Because a fresh and pure approach as you flip through the pages is assuredly the way to go. It will enhance your experience and allow this book to thrill and delight you before completely blowing your mind.
The story is crafted and conceived in a way that maximizes mystery within what seems to be a relatively straightforward crime investigation, compelling you to flip pages faster and faster to find out what’ll occur next because you know there is more than meets the eye. The characters are wonderfully developed and contain depth that is exposed slowly throughout the story through various perspectives, as told through a unique blend of written narrative, transcripts, letters, journals and recordings. Which combined with the raw emotion that leaps off every page, forces you to visualize and feel everything the characters are experiencing in a way that creates an unbreakable connection with the reader. And then there’s the moment when every piece suddenly falls into place and leaves you completely stunned and astonished with your jaw on the floor. It’s at this instant you realize how special The Other Side Of Night truly is. It’s a masterpiece that will rock your world.
A gorgeous, legacy-defining, genius work of art that Adam Hamdy will long be remembered and revered for creating and gifting to readers. The Other Side Of Night is astoundingly breathtaking and one of the most memorable, thought-provoking novels I have ever read. Destined to be included in any conversation about the best books of 2022.
