Review title: Someone please recommend another book this funny!
Product review: This book has RUINED me for other books!Honestly, there were points in the book that I was in pain from laughing so hard. My poor husband had to deal with me reading, "...just one more part..." to him, late into the night.Though my grasp of Farsi is limited to greetings, as an Egyptian growing up in L.A. in the early 80s, I could not believe how wonderfully, comically, and sometimes poignantly F.D. captured my experience. Even my in-laws who hail from Uganda saw themselves in this book!Whether you are an Easterner looking to find a story you can finally relate to (instead of always imagining that your name is Christie and your family came on the Mayflower) or someone who wants a glimpse into the life of "brown folks" (who are sometimes whiter than a fish's underbelly :)) this book is a must-read.And to Dumas' father Kazim...if you are reading these reviews... you MADE the book!
