This book has caught my attention for the second time.
I like the author's perceptive of what America actually means in terms of liberation.
I am curious about the Ali Master's experiences and transition of life from Pakistan to America.
Congratulations to the the author!

- Latest Review: The Prodigy Slave, Book One: Journey to Winter Garden by Londyn Skye
On a humorous note, his entertaining description of his preconceived notions of Americans, including Texans as wealthy oil well owners wearing cowboy boots and hats, who have "promiscuous wives with big hair." As a lifelong Texan, I can vouch that immigrants are not the only ones with this stereotypical view, thanks to the popular television series, Dallas. Master's portrayal of himself as a teenager listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller and learning to moonwalk with his friends is also amusing.
I think some of us who are not American still want to believe in the charming old South. I don't know about the promiscuous wives, but the accent you guys have is lovely!
I'm glad the author has had such a nice experience, though let's not forget a lot of immigrants suffer discrimination and other troubles.There isn't anything I dislike about this inspirational story. Master's powerful portrayal of America's golden door "welcoming those whom the world rejects" will appeal to a wide range of readers. I recommend it to Muslims and Christians as well as immigrants from other countries.
Thank you for your fascinating review!
