A Review for Another Faust by Daniel and Dina Nayeri
Another Faust by Daniel and Dina Nayeri is an interesting tale. Its origins tie in with Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Five everyday teens go from lives of poverty, lies, jealousy, and hate to lives that could only be explained as possibly historical. These lives of fame and beauty and knowledge come at a price. A price that they are willing to pay and a price Faust himself knew all to well. This story is filled with twists, conspiracies, and an ending you won't see coming. If you are looking for a new book to read late into the night try Another Faust.

Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a classic. This is definitely one classic that won't put teens to sleep. Its quick and rhyming pace and interesting plot set this story apart from other classics. The dynamic main character, named Faust, and his deal with the devil, takes the reader on a long ride through the human soul. Originally a German story, this book has been translated into Old English. This gives the story an older and more sophisticated feel to it. Goethe is described as a great author and poet and this story is just another example of that
