Reviews for Life in a Spin

[Bassel Darwish · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Nice and entertaining book, but the author got the meaning of the previous Sultan of Oman wrong.

He said it means nightmare, but that is for "Kaboos كابوس" which is not his name.

His name is "Qaboos قابوس" which means "a handsome man".
