Without a doubt, a 5 star rating. Even more so as the audiobook, narrated by Salman Rushdie. A miraculous story of survival with absolutely poetic language about family, love, violence and fear. I cannot recommend this more to literally anyone. I think this will be a book I wish I could read again for the first time.

Very well written. This is the first book of his I've read. I'd heard of it and happened to see it on the Lucky Day shelf.
His perspective on the world rang true. It had a nice balance of lighter moments, deep thoughts, and observations. His opinion on why religion should be in the private realm and not public was well explained.
