I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was fascinating to realize how connected the people of the Middle East are and how different they are compared to my pre-conceived ideas. I have also recently seen several articles confirming the stories in the book. It makes me more hopeful about our future.

Interesting review of how we stereotypically view youth in the Middle East, and the actual interactions of an American and many Middle Eastern youth. I liked the "insider" look. The author takes risks youth take, feeling they can't be harmed. I was bothered by the fact that the author often faults Middle East youth that aren't aware of current affairs or their nations politics, but the author never mentions a large majority of AMERICAN youth are without a clue about things as well. Overall, an interesting read, especially for the multi-cultural point of view.
