I read this for work and I did not like it but I also am not it's target audience. I found the writing style juvenile and the main character had some really annoying qualities.

If you are an adult looking for a book that will give you more of a view of what Iran and Iranian people are like besides what American media shows on tv(which is one of the purposes of this book from what the author said in the afterword) I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
