Excellent! The first chapter is a bit abstract, but then the book bursts into a story that is overwhelmingly riveting. The author explores sensitive issues of religion, race and politics allowing the reader to see different perspectives of the issues without taking sides. The book will swallow you whole and make you contemplate modern societal norms and values - even if you believe you already know where you stand.
