Negative Positive
Title: Eye Opening
Review: This is a good book if you're looking into some insight into the possible experiences of gay Muslims in the US. However, this book graphically depicts severe physical and sexual abuse of a minor (Bilal) at the hands of his brother. So, be forewarned there. Also, I am interested into what sort of research Sulayman X conducted before writing this work as to my knowledge he is not Kurdish-American and converted to Islam in his 20's. Furthermore, the writing in this novel is very plain, the dialogue between characters is almost cartoonish at times, and parts of the plot seem simply unbelievable.
