Beni’s Game by Paul Alkazraji

Thank you @paul_alkazraji @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Ben's Game is a very short story and is 10 pages long. I thought the book dived straight in to the story and held your attention from the start. I wished it was a bit longer but hopefully Paul Alkazraji will make it in to a longer story just because I was left wanting more. Furthermore, I found the writing to be powerful due to the theme of the story which is about a small boat crossing in to the UK and that three people are waiting for the main character Beni. I felt real emotion for Beni when reading this short story . I also liked the pictures in the story and found them beautiful to look at. Very engaging and interesting read and I have never read any of Paul Alkazraji books before, but I will look out for them now. 5 stars. Blurb 'Beni’s Game’ is a short story about a small boat crossing to the UK, and a deportation flight back to Albania. Three people are waiting for Beni at the airport; two of them are armed; one has a matter to settle with him. ‘As the lights were dimmed for the descent, Beni glanced around him; there were so many British officials on board. He felt the pocket of his rucksack and the flat, oblong form inside to check it was still there. No one’s found it, he thought. He wiped the moisture on his palms along his thighs.’ 'Beni's Game' is based on characters in two novels by Paul Alkazraji 'The Silencer' and 'The Migrant' https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B0034OJYLK Find out more about the author here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5655990.Paul_AlkazrajiEmail.
