Al Sheithuman explores the creation of the world in a broad and imaginative way and is clearly distinguished by the level of environmental diversity, culture, and history. It recounts what the defenseless hero suffers in front of the dictatorial authorities and the wars they ignite, turning human life in Iraq into a continuous holocaust that burns people and values, making the place and life itself unsafe. Escaping danger and death are pure coincidences caused by unseen preordained forces. It protects those it wants to protect and kills those who do not have the ability to survive.
Critic Jennifer Bacani commented, “The psychological elements combined with the more humane themes that revolve around war, identity, fighting harsh conditions, imperialism, and the complexities of the Arab world, made for thought-provoking and entertaining reading. The main character is described in a way that enables the reader to learn about his motivations, backstory, and feelings.” She added, “However, I did not find any filler parts or narrations, nor did I feel like I was being dragged along. Overall, an interesting story, about the cruelty, beauty and fragility of human nature.”
