MY REVIEW:
As I started to read this book, I was so intrigued that I could not wait to turn the next page. People of the Book starts with two different sets of people, one is set in America with a young Christian girl that get onto chat rooms and tries to get people to believe in God. The other set of people live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and are of the Muslim faith.
I found this so interesting as it tells of the women in this Muslim county and how different they are from American women. The women in Saudi Arabia are really not counted as anything except what they can do to please the men. They have to stay covered from head to toe and they live in the very hot desert but I had no idea that they may have computers, but this if fiction, or it may be so. I think that this is the best one yet in the series as I learned things that I had seen on TV.
Taken from the first page of the book "The dividing line between the before and after or Farah's life had actually been drawn earlier than she realized, during Ramadan, the eighteenth such observance of the holy month during Farah's brief lifetime." Farah has a cousin that has already begin to think of Jesus "prophet Isa" her name was Nura and she had been in a chat room with an American girl Sara, and Sara loved Jesus and to leave a seen planted but she and Nura had really become friends. Farah had a younger sister and an older brother. The brother Kareem hated Farah but he didn't really care for the fasting and praying with his father during Ramadan which was the most holiest time of the year.
As the girls kept in touch with each other through the Internet, so many thousands miles away there were some things that happened in each of their lives, that would separate them from ever getting in touch with each other again in this world.
I have read a lot of Kathi's books and as I have said before I think this in the best one yet and she has written some very good Christian books.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for posting the author’s interview on my blog. This blog tour is managed by Christian Speaker Services (www.ChristianSpeakerServices.com).
