This has a lot of promise but around the halfway mark the book really just delved into the authors mindset of foreigners. The stupidity of the poor English of the hotel manager had no purpose other than to belittle a character who didn’t need to be belittled and the constant comparisons to east and western worlds just seemed a little lazy rather than actually making the comparisons where a reader may be more intrigued rather than just “Muslims are bad”.
It wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever read but the last half was lazy writing and just became irritating to read.
