Good, ridiculous fun. While the plot is rather melodramatic and unlikely,it still captivates.
I feel like my imagination isn't big enough to even begin to comprehend what life is like growing up in Somalia, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia - as a female Muslim with an absent father and an abusive mother. Even though Ayaan does a good job covering her youth and describing her life to those who have no frame of reference for that kind of life, it still is hard to imagine. It goes without saying that those of us born and raised in the United States have been so amply blessed; its almost beyond comprehension. So, the most interesting part of the book, in addition to getting an insider's view and perspective on Islam, is when Ayaan makes a run for it and becomes a refugee in Holland. This happens about two-thirds through the book, so by the time she makes her escape, I was almost numb to the brutality of her existenance as a female Muslim. Watching her discover democracy and a country where people don't routinly kill one another is most amazing. It gave me a fresh perspective on our way of life, and how great it truly is, despite its faults. Ayaan, after realizing that this non-Muslim country was a great place, even though her up-bringing told her that all non-Muslim places would be awful, she begins some serious soul-searching about her faith. Again, very interesting to watch her question and reason with her faith and the Western lifestyle. I won't give away the ending, but she concludes with a controversial thought: why is abuse and intolerance allowed to be masked in the name of religion? If you don't know who Ayaan is, she made a short film with Theo Van Gough about the submission of women in Islam. Theo was shot and stabbed to death in broad daylight, in front of 50 witnesses. His throat was slit, and a letter was stabbed to his chest. The letter was addressed to Ayaan. The murderer was Muslim and says he killed Theo because he spoke out negatively about Islam.
Florence heads to the middle east in a covert US goverment mission to start a women's liberation movement, which will in turn bring peace and stability to the middle east. I think Christopher Buckley is a very funny writer, even when writing about the deplorable treatment of women in the fictional Kingdom of Wasabia. This book had me giggling well into the night.
I had a really hard time getting into this book. All the science talk was a little confusing and somewhat boring for my taste. :) With that said, in the end I truly enjoyed this book.

A truly beautiful book, illuminating, thought provoking, and something that I really needed in my life. That my mother recommended this book to me fills me with light and hope that our relationship has and will continue to endure the trials that we have put it through. I am incredibly grateful to these two women for sharing their struggles and triumphs.

A quick and engaging read; I'm a motorsport fan, so I was drawn in by references to the greats, like Senna, but the story—told through the eyes of a dog—goads you to keep reading. Highly recommended!

I loved this book a lot because it had mystery and it made sense. At the end of the book I thought anyone any age could read it. Nimesh Avashia
Poetry. I really like Ryan's style. Her language is simple and her poems are short, but they all have a little moment of reversal in them where something unexpected happens. The surprise is often aided by sly internal rhymes that connect two unrelated concepts or just add a bit of levity. Some favorites: A Hundred Bolts of Satin, Grazing Horses, Don't Look Back, Death By Fruit. I definitely want to read more of her work.
