i really enjoyed this, took a while for me to get into it but once i did it was a good read. i read it for class which actually made it more enjoyable since discussing it and esp having someone explain some of the context was very helpful for me as an american to grasp some of the concepts and themes. great reading for anyone interested in monsters as allegory and in modern arabic literature
