Title: Disappointing
Product review: This is an interesting book, but it is very disappointing. From the description I was expecting the book to focus on the people of Iran. The book is mostly about how Hobson got around in Iran. The lengthy description of her journey into the mountains on an old moped put me to sleep. Hobson's views on Iran are also generalized and out of date. I was hoping her book would give insight on what it is like to travel through Iran as a Westerner, but she just keeps rambling on about how difficult it was to keep pretending to be a boy. I was also dismayed at the way she lied to get into religious sites closed to women and carelessly violated many of the cultural codes.She thought her own curiosity was more important than respecting the culture of Iran( which she claims to admire) I would recommend almost any book in the world over this one. With people like Sarah Hobson on the loose I'm amazed that English travelors are still allowed to set foot in other countries.
