- Biografía breve
- Imran Siddiq may have tried to leave Leicester a few times, but it's become his place to wake up to, freeze when the heating is off, and serve two cats and, most of all, get down to writing.
At the age of 29, during a night in the jungle (of his mind –he is a writer, after all), Imran’s writing bug awakened, and for the last 5 years, he’s been sacrificing every second that he can to writing. A veteran of writing festivals, a constant presence on Twitter, and one who is still able to gobble up all forms of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, Imran hopes he can bring a smile to others through his stories.
Imran’s preferred genre is YA Sci Fi. He has a tendency to throw a droid into every novel –literally every novel.

It has been a couple of years since I read the first in the Divided Worlds trilogy - Disconnect - and Disassemble picks up where it left off. Initially I struggled to remember some of the plot - particularly the politics - but the speed and compelling nature of Disassemble didn't give me time to worry about it.
The writing and plot were much clearer than in the first book of the series, and I struggled to put this one down. Full of non-stop action, Disassemble tells the tale of Zachery and Rosa and the continuing fight between their worlds, both Over and Under, in the research base Galilei, which orbits Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. Their romance deepens, while the disarray in the base becomes more chaotic, peaking at the end. At the same time a shocking event and discovery for Zachery occurs, so shocking I had to immediately start the third book Disrupt to find out more.
Imran Siddiq's unique way of describing actions and events gives his writing a distinct style, and heightens the pace. His is able to create intriguing sci-fi worlds that draw a reader in. I can't wait to read the rest of Disrupt and see how this trilogy ends.… (más)

The finale to the Divided Worlds Trilogy is very fast paced. At every turn you think 'this is it', and then something else happens. A tangled web of interplanetary Titan politics, and the lead character, Zachery's persistence keep the story moving and the tension high. I really enjoyed it.
I did occasionally struggle with the lack of description, in particular of scene setting, even down to placement in a room. The characters would move around in ways that didn't seem possible. And some of the action dialogue tags were confusing: they gave actions that were supposed to express an emotion or reaction, but often I had no idea of their intention, and I found that distracting from the pace.
But overall I love Imran's concepts, and depth of characters, and faced paced storylines. I look forward to future books from him.… (más)

The book wasn't bad. It's just not a book for me. I got it on firstreads, so I'm supposed to give a review, but nothing comes to mind. I bet it would be fun to read if you're a younger boy, I guess. Certainly a lot of action.
My copy was printed just perfect. The cover's so nice to the touch, and the pages of such great quality, softly cream yellow. A true delight for someone like me who loves stationery and nicely printed things.

What first struck me was how well Zachary's world is built. I was instantly sucked into the Underworld and everything that came along with it. Imagine living in the darkness, on borrowed air, and scavenging to make ends meet. Imran Siddiq has created a society that thrives on tenacity. This is Zachary's reality. He has learned to work alone. He has made himself as strong as he can. That is, until Rosa comes into the picture.
I wasn't sure how I felt about Rosa at first. She's the exact opposite of Zachary in every way. Then again Siddiq's concept of the Overworld makes it very apparent why. The Overworld is verdant, shiny and new. It's everything that the Underworld is not. Two very different places, two very different people, and yet they end up connected. The way things come together in the end surprised me, and I loved it!
It's tough to really share a lot without spoiling anything. True to Science Fiction form, this is a book that really must be experienced to fully appreciate it. What I can say is that the characters are well done, the plot was executed beautifully, and I was left happy at the end. Despite any small qualms I may have had, I did enjoy my trip into Disconnect. I can't wait to read more.… (más)
