“wrong, wrong,wrong i hate these books about a princess . i read one of them and all the information on it is not how we live as a women from middel east . it's just about one lady life , i didn't like it ”
“ Good book. Made me realize women in Iran are not so bad off after all. The writer is not honest at times and I'm not talking about the parts which she fears her life if she writes the truth. I felt she sucked up to the Americans a bit too, which “is” unnecessary!”
“An eye-opener.Guess its high time , people like us step forward to bring an end to the brutality that not only arab females face,but the entire muslim community as a whole.”
“It is an enlightening book, even for a Middle Easterner like myself. I agree that it lacks literary excellence, however that doesn't blunt its ability to transmit its message to all nations: that woman in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world deserve better treatment. These woman have such great potential and the men who control their lives prevent them from utilising it by twisting the teachings of Islam to their own comfort. I recommend readers to venture through this book to discover the extent at which these beautiful creatures are being treated like scum and please do so without assuming that these "men" are following the rules of Islam, because they definitely aren't. ”
“A huge lesson on society in Saudi arabia. I rate the book highly not so much for its literary excellence as much for the courage it must have taken for all the people concerned to actually put it on the book shelves. ”
“These are a touching series of books. Its sad to know how women are treated in some parts of the world. Its good that there is a feeling that women needs to be protected, but to suppress a women totally is not quite right.This is a well written book, a story of women suppression without hurting the true sentiments of Quran.”
“At first I was horrified and traumatized at some of the incidents in the book. I couldn't believe some things were described can actually happen. I mean, is it possible a father can actually force his young, barely-out-of-her-teens daughter to marry a man almost HIS age? I know of arranged marriages, but ARRANGED by mutual consent is different from FORCED. That's just one thing - some other parts were quite disturbing as well. Apparently there are two more books about Princess Sultana - But I don't think I'm reading them anytime soon. Still need to get over this one!”
“a very disturbing read but have definitely opened my mind”
“i wanna read it again.... tats y...”
“hi ive read this buk... but that was my frens.. so if any one cud tell if its available online... please....”
