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.
