NOVEL REVIEW: Bashah by Khairul Naim




Hello dearies,

Welcome back to Fadima Mooneira Blogspot and Happy August. I can't believe it is already August. I thought it is still March. Gosh......this pandemic makes some us feel as if time is not moving. 

For today's post, I would like to share with you guys my review of a science fiction novel I just finished reading last week. The novel is Bashah. Bashah is written by Khairul Naim. 

But before I start my review, I would like to say thank you to Siti Madihah for contributing an article about her Hajj experience, Aerill Hassan for participating in my Bookworm Interview July episode, and Adam New for participating in my Bookworm Interview June episode. Having Mr. New as a guest star on my blog helps me boost my pageviews for June and July. Mr. New's interview was has the highest pageviews for June and July. Thank you, Mr. New. You are the best. If there's any bookworm who is interested to participate in my Bookworm Interview series, pls feel free to email me at fadimamooneira@yahoo.com. This is an opportunity for you guys to share your reading passion and be feature on my blog ^_^

Now let's start with the review............


ABOUT THE AUTHOR - KHAIRUL NAIM

Khairul Naim is a Malaysian indie author. He was born in Tanah Merah, Kelantan, Malaysia. Naim describes himself as an imaginative person and a daydreamer. Naim's imagination inspires him to write science fiction and thriller novels. Naim also loves watching science fiction and thriller movies. Watching science fiction and thriller movies also help Naim to create his imaginations.  

Below are Naim's social media links. You can communicate with him on his Facebook Page, and Instagram (just click each link)





ABOUT BASHAH



The main character for this novel is Bashah. Bashah is a teenage boy. But he is different from other teenage boys. That's because Bashah is not a human being. He is an alien from a planet named Cosmo.

Bashah and his family fled Cosmo after they were attacked by the Black Army. Bashah's brother, Baia was killed during the attack.  Bashah and his family resided on planet Earth. They lived their life like normal human beings.

After graduating from high school, Bashah and his friends went for a backpacking trip around Malaysia to celebrate. At the same time, Zendra's (Bashah's father) friend, General Suhaimi discovered an alien spaceship at Tasik Chini, Pahang. Tasik Chini is also the place where Bashah and his family landed.

The Black Army came to earth towards the end of the story. They were hunting for Bashah and his family. Will Bashah and his family survive this time? And why were Bashah and his family wanted by the Black Army?


MY COMMENTS ON BASHAH

First of all, I have to be honest with you guys that I am not into the science fiction genre. If I'm not mistaken, Bashah is the first science fiction novel I've read. 

To me, Bashah is a fun novel to read. The storyline is fast. I also believe that this novel is good for light reading.

I would like to credit Naim for his imagination in writing this novel and creating planet Cosmo. It is not easy to write and visualize a place that does not exist in the real world. I think Naim describes planet Cosmo well and clear. The way Naim describes planet Cosmo also makes me believe that planet Cosmo is an interesting and fun place.

Overall, I rated Bashah 7/10. I would recommend Bashah to those who are into the science fiction genre, love fantasies, and aliens. Bashah is a self-publish novel. So if you want to purchase this novel, you need to contact the author- Khairul Naim by his Facebook Page, or Instagram. Just click any link above (in About The Author).

That's all for now. Thank you for reading. Hope to see you guys again.

XoXo,

Fadima Mooneira ^_^

    This sounds like a great read! I'm big into science fiction and fantasy, and am always looking for new titles. I especially enjoy sci-fi or fantasy with good world building (like you said, it's admirable when an author can create a world out of the depths of their imagination and nothing else). Great review!
