Books Butterfly Editorial Review of The Sudanese Man by G.D. Peters

Introduction & Context

The Sudanese Man is a short story that explores the dark side of power and corruption in Egypt. The book tells the story of two police officers, El Masri and his colleague, who are forced to help a wealthy businessman, Wagih Abaza, cover up a murder. The book is set against the backdrop of Egypt’s turbulent political landscape, and it provides a glimpse into the world of impunity that exists for those in power.

Main Review

The Sudanese Man is a well-written and suspenseful story that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. The characters are complex and believable, and the plot is full of twists and turns. The book is also thought-provoking, as it raises important questions about the nature of power and corruption

There is a simplicity and a beauty in the writing. The story makes you wish it were a full length novel. The characters are pretty deep. They are characters that stay with you after the story ends. The book is surprisingly engrossing for a shorter work

Strengths

One of the strengths of The Sudanese Man is its strong characters. El Masri is a complex and conflicted character who is torn between his loyalty to his job and his conscience. His colleague is a more morally ambiguous character, and their relationship provides the book with much of its tension. Wagih Abaza is a ruthless and ambitious businessman who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He is a chilling villain. The characters will stay with readers long after they finish the book – quite surprising given it is a short story and not a full length book

Another strength of The Sudanese Man is its suspenseful plot. The book is full of twists and turns, and readers will be kept guessing until the very end. The book is also well-paced, and it never feels slow or boring

Weaknesses

One of the weaknesses of The Sudanese Man is its ending. The ending is somewhat ambiguous, and it leaves some questions unanswered. This may frustrate some readers

Another weakness is that it is a short story and the author has no full length novels. As the author has created some interesting characters and painted a rather delicious picture of corruption torn Egypt, anyone reading the story will want to read the author’s other works. Readers will be quite disappointed to find there are no full length novels available from Mr. Peters

Conclusion

Overall, The Sudanese Man is a well-crafted story with very interesting characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller or to anyone interested in learning more about Egypt’s political landscape

Overall Recommendation

I highly recommend The Sudanese Man to anyone who is interested in reading a well-written suspense short story

100/100 for anyone who likes Thrillers and Suspense

100/100 for anyone who like Crime Noir or Detective Noir

90/100 for anyone who likes stories with a good twist in the tale

Curator’s Thoughts

The review intrigued me to the point that I decided to read the story myself. It’s very well crafted. The author should build a full length novel around the world he has created (or perhaps merely captured)

It’s easily a 9/10 or 10/10 short story and well worth a read
