Ques: Title: Informative, but very biased. Review: I have major problems with this book. The author obviously went in with the pinion that women were being mistreated in the Islamic world, a perception she "supports" with various unrelated examples. The book is obviously biased toward the author's western viewpoint of the status of women, and she applies her cultural standards to other cultures--something no self-respecting anthropologist (or journalist, in her case) should do.I will say one thing in the book's defense, and it is that through it all, she tries to remind readers that what goes on is some countries is in direct opposition to the example set by the prophet Muhammad. She makes an effort to separate what Islam requires/suggests regarding women, and what certain countries and people do to women in the name of Islam, and for that I thank her. Beyond that, I think this book is the story of an author who went out looking for information to support a theory she had already formed. So much for unbiased journalism.

Ques: Title: A Chrldren's book? Review: The reason I looked at this book is because I love cat stories, but have to question the wisdom of recommending this book for elementary age children. The review staes that one of the characters takes the Lord's name in vain. In addition the topic is certainly not one I would have chosen for my children at that age. I don't believe in censorship, but I find this book inappropriate and objectionable for ages you recommend. Is the review positive or negative?
Ans: Negative

Ques: Title: A lovely book, emotional and full of surprises. Review: This book appealed to me in a lot of ways. Already the first paragraphe caught my attention. The style is original and full of poetry, and so lively it makes you want to go on reading. The main characters are very likable (except for Lily's father of course) and the story line is full of surprises. There's even a hint of romance. There is also tragedy, alleviated by the author's faith and her marvellous sense of humour. A book that I can only recommend... it won't disappoint. Is the review positive or negative?
