A review by lizzy_elaineee
The Arab of the Future: A Childhood in the Middle East, 1978-1984: A Graphic Memoir by Riad Sattouf
sad
tense
fast-paced
3.0
i bought this book on sale for less than $2.99
i thought it would give some insight on the parallels between the iraq war & palestine under occupation, that didn't happen which is fine i guess. i could've done without the racism, sexism, homophobia & ableism it really didn't add anything to the story so there was no point in adding it at all. i found the dad character insufferable for 90% of this novel.
