Qais Ghanem I have enjoyed reading Two Boys from Aden College. It is a great story. I read the last hundred or so pages in one night. I have not done that in a long time since the Kite Runner.
I could not help but see in the novel the similarity to the life of two individuals I know. I also read in it the stories of many Yemenis represented by the main two characters Ahmad and Hasan. The social, religious and political themes, the novel tackles, are thought provoking.
This should be a required reading in Arab and Yemeni high schools and colleges; when Yemenis start reading again.
