I was looking forward to reading ‘In a time of monsters’ from the moment I saw it. Though initially I thought the price was a bit much, after reading this book I no longer think that, it was a brilliant insight into the troubles of the Middle East from someone who has been there, travelled, and met many people, I dare say it’s worth the money. This book flowed, it was wrote well, and was very informative, with some pictures to accompany the writing a must read for anyone interested in politics, travel, or biographies. I will definitely recommend this book to friends. It was a read that a thoroughly enjoyed and have learned something from about a topic and place everyone hears about, yet knows little.
