Making a complex topic simple and interesting

Far too many times I have picked up a book on a specialist subject to find it is heavy and indigestible!

Full of long, technical words, and pompous opinion, I am turned off before I have finished chapter one.....

John Shindeldecker avoids this pitfall in "The World of Alevis". He creates a readable but informative introduction to this group of Islamic believers in the Middle East. He says, "My hope is that the reader will have a tasty, balanced meal, and the appetite to come back for more."

See what you think ....
