Book Review: Shadow of God

Title: Shadow of god
Writer: Anthony Goodman
Year: 2003
Pages: 464

The title 'Shadow of God' is one of the many Ottoman Sultans used for many years and this book is a story about one of the greatest among them: Kanuni Sultan Suleyman,Souleyman the Magnificient.
The book is about the siege and surrender of Rhodoes island and exile of Rhodos nights to Malta.
It is a fastmoving,exciting historic novel.I liked it very much. I bought it from Kadikoy Alkim but it is available on amazon.

After one week in Justiniano Wish


We spent the first week of July at Justiniano Wish Side.We booked the hotel from touristica which I liked the quality.But the same does not apply for justiniano, although the rooms were nice and pool was big there were few animations shows. In fact the animation team and the DJ were disastorous.The food quality was also low. I do not recommend Justiniano to anyone.God bless Magic Life!.
