Fictional... not Biographical, Jun 21 2005
By Azrael Myst "Azmyst" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Man for All Islands: A Biography of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, (Hardcover)
Even thought the book is highly readable and fast paced with lots of history and information on the Maldives the biography itself rings false. I can't believe in a man who does not have even a single fault. But that is what Royston Ellis would have you believe. The President of the Maldives is a great man and has undoubtedly brought the Maldives into the 20th Century but the man has his faults too. The book does not explore this and paints a rather one sided view of the man. So read it if you want to read a 'fictional' novel based on a real man and real events.

NATIONAL HERO OF THE MALDIVES, Jun 10 2002
By Allen Windsor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Man for All Islands: A Biography of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, (Hardcover)
Here is a unique novel about Bodu Thakurulan, who was born Mohamed, the second son of the chief of one of the Maldive Islands. Readable and pertitent to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, the work has been highly researched by famed British author Royston Ellis, who writes not only about that part of the world but also has written about the Caribbean. The present story will be a valuable literary work for years to come.Allen Windsor
