This book itself is a disaster,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ararat: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
A bad movie script from a good director. This is a propoganda book which shows turkish people as monsters and armenian terorists as heroes. An attempt to brain wash the world. It creates its own fictious history, detached from all scientific facts and tries to create a one sided public opinion. I don't believe it is made to contribute to the creation of dialogue between armenian and turkish people. The litterature and art is sacrified for propoganda.

A great book, even after seeing the movie 3 times.,
By a reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ararat: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
Atom Egoyan is a great director/writer. I really enjoyed this book. For those people who wrote bad reviews not about the book but about there opinion and the fact that they're not able to admit the truth about the Armenian Genocide committed by the Turkish Ottomans, I suggest reading and researching hundreds of books and encyclopedias to help them believe and understand the truth about the history. Encyclopedias don't lie, do they? Conveniently those books are available at Amazon.com
