A review by jaborch
Habibi by Naomi Shihab Nye

2.0

An interesting plot that gets utterly muddled by unrealistic characters and forced lyrical style. And I like Nye's poetry, but this was just unbearable. I've heard that her newest book, Turtles for Oman, has a similar plot without all the extraneous nonsense. I might give that a try for future book clubs.
