The following is a new, positive review for "Bounty" from another Goodreads member.

"Bounty" is a powerful story portraying a young Muslim boy from Lebanon who is hell-bent on escaping the life into which he has been born. Jabir Sarkis was born to parents with no educational degrees but who were able to cope under dire circumstances. They live in a country blighted by wars and terrorism with an economy rapidly deteriorating. Jabir, with the help of his immediate relatives and high school instructors, is given the chance of obtaining a university education, bringing him closer to his dream of a better life. Then a chance to leave the country for a more peaceful one suddenly emerges.

"Bounty" by Darryl Greer is a truly breathtaking and intensifying novel. It enables the reader to understand the hardships faced by this individual, caught in internal wars brought about by terrorists. As the story unfolds one can only hope for a silver lining at the end. "Bounty" is a most enjoyable read.
