i bought this book on sale for less than $2.99 

i thought it would give some insight on the parallels between the iraq war & palestine under occupation, that didn't happen which is fine i guess. i could've done without the racism, sexism, homophobia & ableism it really didn't add anything to the story so there was no point in adding it at all. i found the dad character insufferable for 90% of this novel.

1.0

Honestly this graphic novel was horrid. I like to read books from authors all over the world and I try to have some understanding that cultural beliefs are different. I try to read things with an open mind. This was racist, sexist, homophobic, violent, anti-Semitic, and full of horror. There were no redeeming qualities, no good storyline, no likeable characters- even the art was awful. It was just horrid, do yourself a favor and skip this one

Interesting looking through at the Middle East through the lens of a child. Graphic Novels are a solid medium for biographies. 

There are characters that are racist and antisemitic and that’s hard to deal with.
