3.0

I felt like this book tried to address too many hot topics at once; sexism, race, religious differences, misogyny, classism, and MAGIC. I didn't walk away knowing what the author wanted me to know about any of these themes. That said, if you want to learn more about mystic religions in the Middle East, I'd recommend this. Works well before bed or in the tub.
