Interesting review of how we stereotypically view youth in the Middle East, and the actual interactions of an American and many Middle Eastern youth. I liked the "insider" look. The author takes risks youth take, feeling they can't be harmed. I was bothered by the fact that the author often faults Middle East youth that aren't aware of current affairs or their nations politics, but the author never mentions a large majority of AMERICAN youth are without a clue about things as well. Overall, an interesting read, especially for the multi-cultural point of view.
