‘A hilarious little flip-book filled with [Sharro’s] short musings and amusing drawings on the state of Middle East chaos. … perfect for the coffee table or for bathroom flipping … guaranteed to make you chuckle’ - Jerusalem Post

‘An acerbically wicked collection of sharp geo- and sociopolitical commentary … droll, smart, witty’ - Media Diversifed

‘Satire is only funny if it’s partially true. This book is hilarious. Need I say more? ... Absolutely recommended reading.’ - Eyes on World Cultures

‘One of the funniest yet politically insightful works I have seen in a while … This little book is also important to show that Twitter is not a new communication tool but a new medium that shapes our way of thinking and expressing.’ - Ece Temelkuran
