Let me tell you how 1001 Arabian Nightmares was so different from all the book that I have read so far but let's discuss a couple minor issues first before we go to the good stuff. Since the topics wasn't really my thing I had a hard time getting into the story - flow and pace wise. It took me a longer time to read some of the parts but when you get used to it, you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Another thing is that I get that the author wanted this to be entertaining but there are some parts of the book that I felt was overdone. It's mostly the last sentences of each chapter but I think it's the author's style so I got used to that too. Getting passed those too - this book is so much fun to read and can be a good book to pass time.Now here are the good parts of the story. First, since I don't really read these kinds of books the title and cover can be very intriguing. That alone gave the surprise themoment you jump into the story/ies. I enjoyed and laughed out silly most nights.  Second, in connection to my first point, 1001 Arabian Nightmare was different. It gave me the feeling of reading "the inside scoop" of what it really meant to live in the Middle East without all those sugar coating. It was like seeing the backstage if you know what I mean. Each story is broken down into short stories that are random yet interconnected with each other so you wouldn't be bored since you'll jump from one thing to another. And most importantly, it was super entertaining.I highly recommend that you give this story a chance, you wouldn't be disappointed.
