annarocks 's review for:
A Good Country
by Laleh Khadivi
Wait, what? That was an abrupt ending. Its your normal, coming of age story, a Californian teenager trying to find his place in this world, how to be a man. Throw in a very real, very relevant religious struggle, and you've got an modern crisis. One can sympathize with Rez, deciding to pursue the American path, or look for more in life, in the religion his family gave up. Sure, it looks like there is more calm, more peace, more love with Islam. Americans are so shallow. And, if all muslims are being persecuted in America, why stick around?
It's a good premise. I hated the ending. Honestly, that's the story and how his decisions played out. It's not the story, not the writing. I just felt bad that that's how things ended.
