The Terrorist's Son: A Story of Choice by Zak Ebrahim
4.0
"My father lost his way - but that didn't stop me from finding mine."
This book represents one of the things I love about books and literature - its ability to take us inside the lives of people we could otherwise know nothing about. To give us the opportunity to understand someone who has lived an existence so far removed from our own that it is hard to fathom. This guy has such an incredible upbringing, in a culture that is so foreign to me, but one that is such an integral part of our country in so many ways. I wanted this to be longer and more developed, not because it was lacking in any way, but because it was so interesting, I wanted to know MORE.
