    Enjoyment: 4.5Quality: 4.5Characters: Plot:

    I wrote a whole review before erasing it because it started to feel tad bit too personal. As someone from the east, an oriental, who had heard about invasions, apartheid, and the like, this book hit home in a way I didn't think it would when I started it. Edward Said does an incredible job at explaining orientalism, and it also made me make correlation with how the Hollywood adapted the movie Dune.

    The writing is a lot more academic for my usual pick of genre or writing styles, but it was very enlightening and informative. I have seen some criticism of this book, but to be honest, i think it was don well.
