I give the bookstars, A mostly light heart romp through the trials and tribulations of two young Turkish men who decide to make their way in the US and end up in Canada.
Their search for success and love is peppered with obstacles and misadventures,

I liked the glimpses of Turkish culture that the story reveals without hitting the reader over the head.
All in all a fun read, Very interesting and dynamic until the end, I read it in one breath, This drama is piece of modern soap opera, My true recommendations fo all people, it is must read!from me! Everything a Soap Opera should be.


Anne Rae has written a very compelling soap opera, I say that because every scene is delicately detailed, We know all the players, where they are and what they are thinking, At times, the work does more showing than telling, thus the reference to it being a Soap Opera,

The story revolves around the live of two lifelong friends, Kamil and Adel, Adel has had enough of the “planned” life in Turkey, He is ready to spread his wings and fly, His family and friend Kamil arent too sure about this career move, It doesnt matter. Hes breaking tradition. He saved up enough money and will be winging his way to the land of opportunityAmerica, Kamil cant let his friend go alone, so he reluctantly agrees to the grand adventure,

For the first months everything is on track, Kamil has them both employed with his cousin who runs a shuttle service out of LAX, Adel is the true entrepreneur, while his best friend cant stand the gig, But fate and family ties turn Adels successful venture into a full blown debacle, He finds himself embroiled in family politics, jealousy, arranged marriage, deportation, imprisonment, betrayal, thugs, romance and a final reckoning.
Hows that for a plot I found it well weaved and written,

The only drawback was the over abundance of name tags, but when one works as a filmmaker by day, it makes sense.


Unlike a normal soap, this one has a unique, definitive end, And no, I didnt see it coming!

Well done Anne, A solid.stars.

This book is really good and very exciting story, I like the story most and its one of my favourite story book, Discover and share books you love on Goodreads, the world's largest site for readers and book recommendations! Almost a Turkish Soap Opera is a delightfully well written tale containing excellent plot twists and turns in true soap opera fashion, creating the suspense that encapsulates you as a reader and keeps you gripped until the very end.
It is written in a very simplistic narrative style that allows the story to flow easily and makes this a book that is extremely difficult to put down.
The superb character development throughout the book, in conjunction with the dramatic plot, allows the reader to really become emotionally involved with the main characters especially Adel.


What I was particularly intrigued by, as a man born in Turkey myself, was the cultural accuracy that the AnneRae has managed to include within the book.
I feel that the book encapsulates Turkish culture, creates characters that are genuinely believable and through the different settings of the book highlights the important cultural differences between life in Turkey and in the USA/Canada, providing valuable insight for anyone interested in learning more about Middle Eastern culture, albeit if this information is provided as part of a dramatised soap opera style plot.


The book follows the journey of main character Adel and his best friend Kamil from Istanbul, Turkey to Hollywood, USA in search of “the land of opportunity and beautiful ladies!”.
However, reality soon hits home after arrival, that although this may be a new world, full of different opportunities, the truth is they are in a foreign land with hardly the money to pay for the cheapest of Motels and with no income to speak of! What follows are several twists and turns that lead to the pair working illegally in the country for Kamils cousin Mirwan, Adel falling for Nora Lee a Canadian visitor he meets whilst working and a subsequent whirlwind romance.
This romance is cut short due to Adels deportation back to Turkey, instigated by his controlling and manipulating Grand Uncle.
Through his Grand Uncles design Adel eventually heads of to Canada, where he plans for him to marry Yonka his beloved granddaughter.
Adel obliges and it is at this point where the drama of the book really unfolds,

Excellent, fast paced and with a really apt and satisfying ending, Almost a Turkish Soap Opera really is a five star read and is one that I am extremely happy to endorse and recommend to anyone! I enjoyed this new novel by AnneRae Vasquez another one of her great work.
I am a fan of the web series of the Almost a Turkish Soap Opera and now I am a fan of this book too.
Great job AnneRae I am looking forward to all your upcoming work! The book is about Adel and Kamil, two young good looking Turkish men trying to immigrate to North America.

Very interusting story i like it, wow this is a very good book I read this book and I love it, I will recomande to my friends to read this book, sitelink blogspot. com

So, I have had this review in draft form for a couple weeks now, because it was so difficult for me to properly review this book.
I didn't want to be overly critical or complementary of something based on my own subjective tastes and interests.
I rarely read out of my comfort zone, which is something I've tried working on to expand my horizons and so I could expose myself to different types/genres of writing that I would almost never pick up otherwise.
And this story certainly takes me away from my standard literary fare, and deserved a more objective review than I would have written right after I finished reading it.
Almost a Turkish Soap Opera is precisely what the title intimates, and while I was very entertained by the plot I was not so much a fan of the layout of the novel.
This story was written as a screenplay, and reads just as a television show summary would, Almost a Turkish Soap Opera is a fascinating look into the Turkish culture in today's society, and is worthy of theout ofI'm giving to it.


As I stated above, I was not a fan of the layout, Screenplays are difficult to read because it's essentially just a play by play of what would be happening in the show/movie.
There is little in the way of inner dialogue and conflict most of the writing is devoted to the actions and what the characters are doing.
I need inner conflict! I need to hear more of what's going on in Adel's mind, and what he's thinking about throughout his dramatic time in America and Canada.
He's got a very interesting inner dialogue, based on what Vasquez did put in her story, I could definitely see this on TV, though, kind of a dramatic Turkish "Days of Our Lives" or something else I only know that show because my mother used to watch it :P

Although I would have preferred to see a 'standard' novel version of this story, the plot and the characters are a lot of fun.
The plot is interesting, easy to follow, and fun to read, and offers a lot of insight into the lives of modern Muslim families.
Adel and Kamil are likable characters, and I had a good time reading a story where I had to really extrapolate to picture myself in their shoes particularly since I am not Muslim, and won't really have to worry about having an arranged, loveless marriage.
I would definitely feel the same way though, and fight with my family to be able to pave my own way through life, and marry who I choose, rather than who my family decides I should marry.


All in all, while this wasn't something I normally sink my teeth into, I'm glad I did and I definitely recommend it for anyone who regularly watches/reads soap opera types of stories, or who's looking to try something new and exciting.
Who knows, you might learn something new, or just find a new genre you enjoy! This is an exciting and amazing book.
I like this book so much, A beautiful and intriguing story of two young men Adel and Kamil, who leave Turkey for a new life.

The twists and turns of the plot from Los Angeles back to Turkey and on to Canada move with a fast pace
in the tradition of the best soap operas.
The style of writing flows easily in the present, with extraordinary
characters and wonderful dialogues, I found this book very entertaining, sometimes sad and poignant sometimes extremely funny,
The writer has perfectly captured the nuances and shades of those from different cultures creating a picture rich in
textures, sights and sounds.
This novel is both clever and deeply emotional with complex situations that will make you wonder
about friendship, love, betrayal and redemption.
A great book. Adel and Kamil, two young good looking Turkish men try to immigrate to North America, Adel's ruthless grand uncle arranges him to marry Yonka his spoiled obnoxious cousin in exchange for his immigration status in Canada.
The problem is Yonka and Adel hate each other, The drama heats up even more when Adel has an affair with Nora, his beautiful English teacher which ruins Yonka's plans.
And to add to this, his best friend Kamil has a big secret of his own, How did his life turn into a Turkish soap opera
