Helpful Score: 13
Amazingsimply amazing.
Infidel is a page turner (even though it is more difficult to read than a fictional story). Ayaan Hirsi Ali captivated me with her ability to keep me in my comfort zone and yet tell the gruesome bits of her life. I find her amazing, more so because she was able to explain to me how Muslims think. She did not write a book that bashes the Muslim religion she wrote a memoir that clearly explains where she comes from and where the Muslims come from.
What I found most intriguing is how she could have such radical thoughts about her religion at such a young age with no one around her feeding her questions.
The one caution I would give other potential readers is that this book is highly political. I liked it a lot because I believe a lot of the things that Ayaan believes. However, for those readers that do not agree with those views this could be a very frustrating and maybe even enraging book.
I do highly recommend it to anyone even if they do not follow my beliefs on religion or politics. Everyone can take something away from this work.
