Well, we rarely read a book that we don't like, but this one ranks up there among our favorites. We've been floating around the literary Middle East for three months now and we're beginning to feel like experts on the region. We read Kite Runner a few years ago, but we all liked this book better. Here's another example of a guy who can give a pretty good female perspective (See One Thousand White Women) It's a book about hope and sacrifice. We found a lot to talk about with this book, which isn't always the case.
Charlie Wilson's War was recommended as a possible follow-up book or movie.
