As Iraqi/American Woman I find very poor book. I think the writer took some the facts and exaggerate over it to make the book look interesting and excited to sell the book and make money of it so I do not recommend this book if you are looking for the truth or what is truly going on in Iraq. Even some of the historical facts are misstated or was wrong. Overall if you are looking for imaginary novel with some facts to make the story realistic this might be the book you are looking for, so I recommend you borrow it from friends or public libraries to read it in instead wasting your money buying it.
