Liked the book more than I thought I would at first. Author returns to Saudi Arabia after having worked there for years as an English teacher. Some might find the book rife with intolerant Saudi-bashing, but it must get frustrating being often confronted with smug "suggestions" to convert following "hello" in meeting Saudis.
