The story is worth reading and worth telling. I just wish that the author’s disdain for Iranians and their culture wasn’t as forefront and underscored as it in during the first half of the book. While she has clear and definitive reasons to dislike those who partook in her imprisonment, during most of the first half of the book and then less so throughout the rest of the text, she makes pointed vocabulary and tone choices that disparage the Iranian culture almost wholly.
I almost DNFd the book about 40% in but pushed through because I really wanted to know her story.
