Hello my
friendly bloggers. I am back again. I am sorry for not having written for a long time, but the waiting will be worth
it. Today I am going to recommend an awesome book which I have just finisthed,
its title is “The reluctant fundamentalist” I hope you find my advice useful.
The plot
The story
is about a Pakistani young boy named Changez. He gets a work replacement because of his grades and starts to work for a
huge American Company. As he is a
committed, determined and hard working person, he becomes a tremendous asset for
his firm, thus, Change's world will begin to change little by little.
As he is
given more responsibility, he will experience another perspective of the
relationship between colleagues and friends. Besides, some internationl events influence his thoughts and will lead him to make some hard
choices, about work, friends and love.
Do not
judge a book by its cover
In my
humble opinion, emotional, sensitive and truly realistic. This book can take
you to a new world of images, smells and tastes. It is a thought-provoking
story that can make you reconsider your traditional view of this unknown coutry
called Pakistan.
Despite its
title, it's not about politics but life, dreams, values. Easy to read and
written in a particular way. This book will surprise you, and for sure will
change some prejudices that are ingrained
in our society. I undoubtely recommend it
if you want to become an open-minded person. Enjoy it.
I also found it very enlightening! Amazing how a book based on a conversation about life - as yo said - can keep your interest from cover to cover! Well ... a monologue :)
