Negative Positive
Title: not about politics, about Turkish culture and its future!
Review: The reviews of this book are turning into a political rant forum, so I will forgo any lengthy diatribes about Kurds, Turkish army, terrorism etc. It's a short, compelling book that does not get mired in the politics. Besides, most people in Turkey care more about a Galatasaray-Fenerbahce game than Ocalan's ravings or the influence of the military.Kinzer is not shallow. He is not patronizing. His conclusions are spot on. I bet he has had more fun living in Turkey than pretty much anyone who has written a review of this book here, and is able to pen his experiences and share his insights with intelligence and wit, critical while being upbeat and optimistic, like a good trusted friend would. That's all.
Is the review positive or negative?
