2.0

From the synopsis, I thought this book would offer a unique and insightful story on terrorism from a Muslim-American's perspective. Turns out, it's just your run-of-the-mill preteen romance novel featuring one dimensional characters and a poorly executed plot. The author's take on Indian-Americans was very black and white. The Indian-American characters in this novel were either completely westernized or totally rigid in their traditional beliefs and if you were a "traditional" Indian-American you were essentially an antagonist. Pretty disappointed overall.
