In regards to structure, this is not the best written book. The beginning is burdensome and the ending is nonexistent and laborious to read.

The story itself was inspiring. The message is true; the war on terror is going to be won with books, not weapons. Now, I am a diehard supporter of our troops and never dare undermined the awesome sacrifices they have made for our country. I am not a tree hugging hippie one bit. For me to say the sentence in the begging of this paragraph is a true testament towards the book.

You know, even in my weak moments, I found myself viewing the Muslim religion in a negative light after 9/11. Well, that light is now shut off. I now think of Jahan completing her studies to become a doctor with her village support after her grandfather's dream of a school for girls was realize. The book made me realize no educated person wants to become a terrorist. "The enemy is ignorance."
