5.0

I was theoretically going to write a paper and do a project on this book. I practically failed out of the class I bought this book for, but came out absolutely INFATUATED with this book.

Utterly intriguing book about the representation of Scheherazade and harem life in the West. It discusses representations in classic art, literature, and (most fun!) movies. It's been several years since I read it now, so I hesitate to go into more shady details...

All I know is that I DEVOURED this book and took tons of notes. It left me wanting to read more more more on this topic, and what better recommendation could you ask for?!

I gave my copy to my professor, but I'm actually tempted to go out and buy one again.
