Congrats on BOTD!
The assessment offers sufficient information and is thorough. This book presents the perspective of an Asian immigrant who has been chasing the American Dream for more than thirty years. I think it would be worth reading this based on the review.

:techie-studyingbrown: I think this book would help other people to learn that trying new things can be scary, but sometimes when we try, we can find things that make us happy too. And this book will help others know that mistakes stereotype of American habitant in color and other personality

Congrats to the BOTD author! I love listening other people's success stories. The favourite part is how they overcame challenges. I guess this is also worth learning from.

I view this as a unique insight into the American Dream through the eyes of a Pakistani Muslim immigrant. Exploring themes like cultural identity, adaptation, and personal development is always fascinating, particularly in the context of an immigrant's experience in America.

A well-written review from Cecelia_L, thank you. 'In Beyond The Golden Door' Seeing the American Dream through an Immigrant's Eyes, Ali Master, in an engaging narrative tells the story of his journey as an immigrant from Pakistan to attend college in the US. This thought-provoking exploration of the American dream and all it entails from an immigrant's perspective sheds light on complex issues as well as the love, faith and freedom he discovers which he hopes will motivate readers to share these same values with new immigrants to the country. Congratulations on #BOTD.

I can imagine that people from other parts of the world will base their views of the USA on TV series and movies. It is wonderful that the author converted to Christianity. I like the themes of love and family, and that the author was prepared to share intimate details of his life. Thank you for the insightful review.

Interesting and possibly useful to those who plan to relocate to the United States, since it is one thing to know something in theory and quite the other from personal experience. I believe careful readers will be able to get some tips for more smooth integration in a new society. Great job that certainly deserves congratulations on BOTD!
