Review title: Bitter, Biassed and One-sided Account
Product review: This is a terrible book! I am not sure why this author is so often lauded if he puts out such one-sided and distorted material as this. Clearly, Naipaul has an agenda with this book: to depict a negative account of Muslims who converted. (Naipaul seems very bitter that Muslims converted and left religions such as his own: Hinduism.) As a reader, I kept wishing that he could just learn to bury the incredible chip on his shoulder and let go his bitterness. As a student of Islam, there are plenty of reasons (populist, humanitarian, etc.) to convert to Islam. It is (believe it or not Mr. Naipaul!) the "social justice religion". What is most appalling about this work is that Mr. Naipaul often interrupts his interview subjects to inject words into their own mouths or to push along his very clear personal agenda. Why is he so afraid to let them speak fully, or finish there sentences? Is it possible, that then a very different novel would result? Hmmm ....
