It's a good book.
For a long time I didn't want to read it, because I have a sister who lives in Teheran-Iran, but we had never problems with my brother in law, and mine sister and son comes to the Netherlands often, she was here this year (2014) between july 28 - august 28.
She lives almost 24 years in Iran, my father, mother, brother and me been there often.
all I'm saying we are Lucky, I know, I have a nice brother in law.
I read this book (both) about 12 years ago, and I know that there people like that in Iran but if we are fair we have to see that those people are everywhere.
