Negative Positive
Title: A slow read....
Review: While this book is quite informative and details interesting insights into the Saudis, I found it to be a slow read. The writing is very bland. I only continued to finish the book because I find the subject matter interesting, but it took a long time to finish, as my attention span wained. I chose to read this book after reading PRINCESS: A TRUE STORY OF LIFE BEHIND THE VEIL IN SAUDI ARABIA, by Jean Sasson. This book peaked my interest in Saudi Arabia. I was dissapointed to find that THE SAUDIS didn't provide the intense insight into the Saudi culture like Sassons's book does.
Is the review positive or negative?
