Fabulous. Very original. An author to follow.
A very long memoir. It started out slow and seemed at first to be a book about how great she is, but upon finishing it I think it is a very interesting and behind the scenes look at the Queen. Yes, she does list a lot of accomplishments, but she was a Queen and she had the opportunity to do a lot of good, so maybe she deserves a couple hundred pages to refute some rumors, give her side of things for once, and tell what good she tried to accomplish. It does give the Jordanian perspective and artfully avoids the parts where they left Palestinians high and dry a few times. On the other hand, it was nice to get Queen Noor's perspective on Jordanian relations with the US, Palestinians, Israel, and various other countries. She attributes a lot of good in the world to her husband, but I'm not sure he was as much the savior she makes him out to be. Not that he was a bad guy, I just don't think he was single-handedly responsible for averting as many crises in his country and among other Arab nations as she gives him credit for. It's a nice thought, though. The bits about their relationship and her life were fun to learn about and touching, too.
** spoiler alert ** Unfortunately I had to take this back to the library, so I scanned and read the end. I would not recommend that because I somehow have lost the reviews I had written as I progressed and I can't remember all I had said. I do remember that I can see why this is selling so well, be it to teens, preteens, or their parents. I talked about reading it aloud (wasn't sure I'd be comfortable with that), but I think because of the graphic nature it would be difficult unless kids either had copies to follow along, or a doc camera was used. I liked this much better than I thought I would due to the irreverent nature of it. The twist at the end appeals.
