Culture Shock (11/28/2010)
It took me 9 months to be able to finish this book. I love to read and when I start a book I refuse to not read it all the way through regardless of like or dislike of it. It was so hard to begin to get interested in this book mainly because none of the text was familiar to me. I kept reading and kept reading and eventually feel in love around the very end/beginning of part two. The only bad thing I have to say is I think another ending should be written, one with more information about Han and his escape. Although while saying this I am reminded of Sirine's uncle saying
"Because people crave the beauty of not knowing, the excitement of suggestions, and the sweet tragedy of mystery. In other words, Habeebti, you must never tell everything."
