Title: Obviously Angry Woman Fails to Sway My Opinion
Review: After reading other reviews of this book, I thought it would add to my understanding of the Afghan situation and what people of Afghan-American heritage face here in the US. Unfortunately all I 'heard' was an angry woman shouting about how unjust her life is. While obviously articulate and intelligent, Ms Aseel's own voice is what turned me off about the book. Rather than offer suggestions or alternatives to what she sees as areas of difficulty between the American and Afghan cultures, she seems to prefer the approach that if you shout loudly enough, someone else will come up with a solution. I didn't end up learning anything new and her shouting failed to sway me to her viewpoint. I was greatly disappointed.
