The best way to sum up my thoughts for this is to say it was ok. I feel like there needed to be more of the story and I found myself a little underwhelmed but it was ok.

Nice artwork and story throughout. Reminded me of Camus work a bit.

I wanted to read this one as it sounded quite intriguing, however I am now at page 46, and now she is finally in Algiers... But by now I couldn't even care any more. I came for her to go to Algiers not give us a whole life description of everything (which was terribly boring). Or maybe I shouldn't read this book while having the flu/cold, reading on a pc/tablet screen is hurting my head even more.

The art is also not pulling me in. It tries to be realistic but it looks more creepy to me.

Plus I had expected a bit less of walls of text and more illustrations (not that those were better, but you get what I mean).

So yeah, I tried, I got to page 54, and then I just couldn't care to read this one further.

3 ⭐⭐⭐stars!

"When you don't know where you're going, take a look at where you came from."

I've never been to Algeria, but I know that there are great and generous people, delicious dishes and wonderful places to see.

Algeria Is Beautiful Like America is about a French girl who was brave enough to go on her own and explore a place she only heard of from her grandma's stories.

When her grandma passed away, Olivia decided to visit Algeria and see for herself the places that stole her grandmother's heart. Meeting all those generous people filled Olivia with love and gave her hope to come again and visit the place where her family was born and was always welcome to stay.

Interesting family story and history about Algeria, a country which I really didn't know anything about. The notion of going back to ancestral lands is always fascinating and this was a compelling portrayal of such a journey.

The file that I downloaded is not working correctly - instead of words or images, there are only fuzzy gray boxes. I am unable to review it, but am happy to review the book when the problem is resolved.

I couldnt review this because there is a problem with the file. I downloaded it into my reader but all I'm seeing is black squares.

There are no pictures. I deleted the file and reloaded it but it's the same thing. I'm happy to review the book if you repair the file
