Book Reviews of Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia

This is a truly shocking book about the deplorable way Saudi women are treated.

it provided a great first person into the life of an arabian princess as a child til the age of elderly..

Really enjoyed this inside look at a true Arabian princess....interesting story, great information presented in a well-written book.

This is a sad read of a culture I did not know much about.

One of many thousands of princesses in Saudi Arabia telling her side of the story about what life is like for Arabian women. She's spoiled and selfish. It may be easy to pity her but if she was so hard put upon why did she leave London when she was free? When her DAUGHTER was free! Difficult to take her seriously. Remember, in every castle lies a dungeon.

Eye opening, disturbing account of the lives of women in Saudi Arabia.

Wow, makes you so glad to be an american woman.

Not my type of book .

I think this book is wonderful - scary - and a dose of reality of how some women are forced to live. I am so thankful I am a woman in America!

Fascinating and scary account of living as a woman in Saudi Arabia

The book is truly mesmorizing. The life a woman endures in the middle east is so far beyond ou American grasp of understanding that just reading this book takes a near suspension of belief. A must read!

Moving book, hard to imagine women living this way, even in present times.

This book is a real eye-opener. A must read for all women!

This book makes your really glad that you live in a country where women are not chattel, where we have a voice, an identity and the ability to become something other than a man's property. At risk to her own life, Sultana has spoken out and revealed the truth about what being a woman in Saudi Arabia is really like. Even Princesses have no rights. Even they are considered worthless. Heartbreaking!

A very good acct on what it is lie living in the arab world. The women are no more than property to the man. shocking accts on life behind the veil.

You will be shocked as you read about the plight of women in Saudi Arabia; even those of royalty. A must read!

A really good story.

Having lived there it seems very beliveable.

I didn't realize things were quite this bad... but I admire the Princess for her tenacity and dreams. Sasson, the ghostwriter, creates a sensitive, yet enthralling narrative... and I'm looking forward to reading the sequels... and wishing there was something else I could do to help besides pray.

Riveting! I could not put it down. Absolutely unbelievable. A must read.

Very shocking and sad... if you are interest in human rights, this is a book for you to read. Very personal and detailed. DG

A really good look into the Saudi womens life. Extremely good book.

Very interesting look at how women are treated and why in Saudi Arabia. Not my normal reading genre, but I couldn't put it down.
