This was a very interesting book. I have to say, I didnt agree with a lot of the politics mentioned in this book. However, this book was loaded with great info on the Israel/Palestinian conflict, Iran/Iraq war. The 6- day war, etc. I thought the perspective was very unique. An American born woman who marries the King of Jordan and becomes a Muslim. How unique can you get. If her intention was to show what a kind and peaceful man King Hussein was, she nailed it. If all was true, he was definitely a great man. I wasnt that impressed with her. I felt she was a bit pompous. Especially about the part where her mother was forbidden to call her Lisa and was forced to call her Noor. I felt Noor was very influenced by her love for the King. She did have her own ideas but they seemed to be extremely liberal and biased. But, this was definitely a different view point for me. Although I did not agree with a lot of the politics with this book, I enjoyed this book immensely
