PRINCESS, The Help, and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close – sao’s Book Recommendations
Posted By drsao on January 29, 2012
If you are looking for a book that is absolutely riveting – you know what I mean, the kind that once you start reading, you cannot STOP READING!
I am recommending such a book – “PRINCESS:A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia .” It is available at Amazon (and that is where I got the picture.) This is all true – about the life of a real member of the royal family in Saudi Arabia. Can you imagine having all of the wealth and amenities possible but NO FREEDOM? Women are treated as property and are tortured and even killed if they do not conform to the rules set forth by the male members of their families and by society.
Princess - by Jean P Sasson
This book had great impact on me – just as “THE HELP” and “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” did! I highly recommend it!
By the way, are you like me and are you disappointed when you see the movie AFTER you have read the book? I ALWAYS AM! I am wondering if I should see the movie EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE? Has anyone read the book and then liked the movie?
I read “THE HELP” after I had seen the movie and I was COMPLETELY HAPPY! (fyi) OK – so I am also recommending The Help and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. (The pictures are also from the Amazon.com site!)
The Help
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
OK – and THIS IS NOT WHY I RECOMMENDED THESE BOOKS – but as I posted this I remembered that if you order anything at Amazon through the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative LINK, you are contributing to the fund that goes for Alzheimer’s Research.
HAPPY READING…and what book have you read that you recommend?
