Incendiary by Chris Cleave

4.0

I'm not going to write a synopsis of this because that can be found above, provided by goodreads. I read this book awhile ago and my thoughts frequently come back to it. When I first started reading this book, I considered putting it down not once but several times. It was odd...a woman who is writing a letter to Osama bin Laden about her dead son? What in the hell?!? But, it grew on me. More than that, it challenged my own views and thoughts which is what a good book does. I read a lot...and this seems to be a book that I can't shake. As much as I didn't like the protagonist, it's ability to challenge my own thoughts and to do so subtly makes it a book well worth reading.
