Title: Unimpressed.
Product review: I did not particularly enjoy reading this novel, simply because I didn't come away with anything. After finishing the book, the only thing that I gained was insight on how this particular family lived from day-to-day. I also want to clarify that this particular Afghan family was extremely oppressive and this is not how the majority of Muslim families are like-in fact, the behavior of the characters and their attitudes towards women is extremely backward and is not what Islam teaches. Based on some of the other reviews, it seems that the author did not do a good job clarifying this point. This novel is not in any way reflective of the "modern day Muslim world", as indicated in one of the reviews below. If you want to read a novel/journal about the life of one particular Afghan family through the eyes of a foreigner, then read this book, but do not expect to come away with much more than that.
