A review by rottenroll
The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid

4.0

I found this novel riveting. It's a political thriller told in an interesting way. The entire novel is a conversation by Changez in Lahore to an American he meets at a Cafe. What the American says is never shown. It's just mentioned as a response by Changez, a Pakistani. Changez's story is interesting and thought-provoking. I liked how the novel was not overtly religious or rather not religious at all despite what the title says. But yet the title is fitting as you listen to more of his story. The ending is compelling. It could be missed but the ending was fitting with his entire story. The novel is a "9/11" book but deals with many other things.
