I was reluctant to read this book until I saw that the author had spent time in the Middle East working for the CIA. That part was marvelous. I agree that the American high school part was not as good.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-42469198700685196382014-02-12T19:48:11.750-06:002014-02-12T19:48:11.750-06:00Yeah, I was worried about the culture balance, but...Yeah, I was worried about the culture balance, but I thought it worked.Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-49390935263067647492014-02-12T18:34:43.370-06:002014-02-12T18:34:43.370-06:00This sounds like a fascinating story!

It sounds like the culture clash was done with an even hand. I have a copy of this and now I'm more excited to read it. Great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
