Marwan


Read by Aram Schefrin

(3.8 stars; 5 reviews)

How did an Egyptian city planner, a Yemeni religious fanatic, a boy from the United Arab Emirates who worshipped sex, not Allah, and a young student of aircraft design who went to a Christian school in Lebanon- four very different men with very different ideas- get involved in flying the 9/11 planes? How did the plot develop, and who developed it?

"Marwan," a novel by Aram Schefrin, puts the reported facts together and fills in the details- from the group's first coming together in Hamburg, Germany, to the moments before the jets they were to hijack took off. You'll come to know the participants, and how they were motivated, what their personal lives were like and the roles they played in the plan. You will learn to know them as people- not simply as "terrorists"- because, as the author sees it, you have to understand your enemies if you want to defend yourself.

Is this fiction?


(3.5 stars)

Great story, well read, but just one question; I would like to know if these backstories of the terrorists are at least based slightly on fact. They don't really seem to be, although I could be wrong (which, of course, is why I'm asking). Oh, one more thing: Please, PLEASE stop denying 9/11. It was a catastrophic event, and blame of the innocents will only make it worse. There are families who were forever scarred on that day, families who lost previous members... it DID happen, and the government DIDN'T organize it. You people who think 9/11 was faked probably also think the moon landing was faked, and that COVID-19 is Jeff Bezos' birthchild, a microchip implant. THE MICROCHIPS ARE TOO BIG TO NOT BE NOTICED! Ahhhhhhh, well that was a rambling crap-pile, hopefully you conspiracy theorists won't assassinate me now.

I believe this was one of the biggest peices of trash I have ever read. First of all, what was the point? The fact that these people existed is the only interesting reason for saying anything at all about them. But beyond that, why bother writing a book that takes ...

I downloaded Marwan about 5 months ago. I must say that I absolutely love it. ME and my brother listen to it everynight when we sleep. The narrators voice is excellent. We will continue to listen to this until I can narrate it myself backwards in Chinese. Chapter 9 in ...

Listen, its fiction. You don't like it, don't. As someone who has lived, worked and communicated with Middle East Muslims for over thirty years I can say the "sound" of what was said range true. I don't want to debate the actual content, cause I don't think the writer really ...

I enjoyed this book, even if it's accuracy is in question it is refreshing to see the story told from a different perspective. I've listened to Aram Schefrin's other books and enjoyed them as well. I think he is a talented author and rest assured his stories are always told ...

Folks, In theory, I've fixed some of the issues. Aram re-recorded episodes and sent those to us some time ago, and we managed to flub them up big time. I'm going to download all of the chapters myself and check them, but I'm hoping we have them right. The only ...

I have been trying to get into this book, but for some reason unknown to me I am getting the chapters cut of. The feed will tell me how long the episode is but I will be lucky to get two minuets out of 20 before the filed cuts out.
