Book Reviews of Princess Sultana's Daughters
Book Review: Women in Saudi Arabia
Summary: 5 Stars
The "Sultana" trilogy is not to be missed by anyone concerned with human rights, more specifically women's rights in a Muslim country.
Masterfully written, "Princess Sultana's Daughters" is no exception to the rule: it reads as well as the first and last book of this collection.
The saga of this beyond imagination wealthy royal Saudi woman and her daughters is not only inspiring, sensitive but also educational as it gives many insights on how women in general live in a male dominated culture.
This is the kind of book you don't want to put down once you start to read it.
Book Review: The first book was the best
Summary: 3 Stars
While the story of Sultana continues to hold interest, I found this second book to be a little drawn out. I think that there are one too many calamities that befall women in this book and now it seems a little unlikely that every kind of abuse imaginable is witnessed by one single person. I think that too may people take Sultana to be a real thing, when in truth there is a great deal of controversy surrounding the question whether the book is in fact a true story, or a work of fiction. In any case it is still an interesting book, but in my opinion not as good as the first one.Book Review: Wow, what can I say?
Summary: 5 Stars
After having read the first book in the Princess trilogy, I was eagerly waiting for this book. Princess Sultana's Daughter's exceeded my expectations. This book was extremely well written and I felt like I was watching everything unfold in front of me. Some parts of this book are uplifting, others are really funny, and some parts are sad. On the whole, I thought it was wonderful how this book talked about Saudi life and the Muslim religion. I would recommend this book if you desire to learn about Saudi Arabia or their customs and are looking for an entertaining read.Book Review: Excellent read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book shows true revealing information about the goings on in Saudia Arabia. The only thing that I felt was horrible is how her daughters turned out. I see nothing wrong for a woman to a feminist but she has no respect for husband or her own family. There are things, I would not share, and would keep in a journal or diary. Most definitely stick to her life but out of others. She is demanding respect but has none.However, this book is wonderful, and a quick read, I could not pur it down. Maybe she will be watchful next time of what she says.
Book Review: a book you can't put down..
Summary: 5 Stars
I'we always been interested in the mystical aspect of the very shelterd ways of life in places like Saudia-Araibia. This book is a follow up to the first one and is just as exciting and emotional. Sultana tells us what happens when her imediate family discovers that she has infact with J.Sasson written a book about her life and surroundings. It's a beautiful book that truly makes you realize, that freedom shouldnt be taken for granted. I truly admire Sutlana for telling the honest and chilling story of her enclosed life. It's a great buy!!
