"Said has succeeded in capturing the ups and downs of his life in way that enables his reader to connect with him on many level. As an arab-american, I think this book is a must read for all people who have different cultural backgrounds and those who want to know who is Edward Said. Brilliant book."
"I have been reading this off and on for several weeks as my interest ebbs and flows. It's a memoir of Edward Said, the scholar. I really want to finish this and know his story but it is very very dry in spots."
