Negative Positive
Title: A good read, but limited perspective
Review: The book has wonderful reflections on the life of Daniel Pearl, brutally assissinated by terrorists in Karachi (Pakistan). Daniel Pearl was of course the Wall Street Journalist. But it is a book only for Jews.As a proud Jew myself, I think this book limits the scope of Daniel Pearl and its killing, and put in a narrow Jewish perspective. So I agree with the Montreal reader, and disagree with the "oversimplistic" teenage reader from Washington DC (soulseeker). I think all the world felt affection for Daniel Pearl, and books such as this tend to undermine this global affection. His message of greater understanding stands in contradiction with this book.As the teenage reader from DC underscores, it is a book that will unfortunately attract only Jews, further undermining the memory of Daniel Pearl.
