What Members Thought
The book started strong and I enjoyed learning about the political climate in Libya in the 70’s.
The last few chapters though read like a whiplash and might have benefited from better editing to slow the pace down.
The ending was anticlimactic and a bit disappointing.

Different, but very interesting, book about life in Libya in another time/age--when political repression was rife and those who spoke out in any way were harshly dealt with. From the perspective of a young kid whose father is caught up in the jaws of the harsh governmental powers.
