"Tamu Hotel": Kondusifnya Syi’ar Islam di Negeri Jiran

Sajadah untuk Siapa Saja Masuk lobby hotel dan mata saya tertuju pada tumpukan sajadah bersih yang tersedia untuk dipakai tamu hotel. Di lobby, bukan di kamar! Sebuah layar televisi plasma raksasa tidak mungkin terlewat siapapun yang melewati front desk. Dzikir pagi, dzikir petang, dan dzikir-dzikir penenang hati ditayangkan, terlantun tanpa berhenti. Non stop, siang malam tanpa jeda. Menyejuki hati saya dan memicu pertanyaan, “Hotel macam apa ini?!”

I'm not gonna ramble on synopsis, as you can find it anywhere.  The book apparently didn't get enough good review from people, well, GoodReads people to say the least. But for me, this.. is a must-read.

You won't find anything new to the story-telling style. It's just Grisham. Anti climax, flowing like water over creek in the meadow where Laura Ingalls once lived --only not that peaceful, you know.. Grisham. But still, in the battle of good versus evil, I still hoped the good will prevail. It brutally didn't. Brutally.

I enjoyed the book very much, I'm sure you Grisham freaks will do too. There's an interesting disclaimer at the end of the story, denying some facts, yet admitting the rest. Which only underlined that the whole matter was actually as true as tears and laughter. 'Nuff said.
