The Humorous Truth

To be able to write a good book,one must indeed have deep vision.Ray Hanania used humor throughout his book, to bring people into reality. He wanted his reader to see beyond,to have a clear vision about the painful,stressful way of life he endured.Yet,he wanted the reader to laugh off the sadness,but not forget the message.I found the book to be a great one.reading it made me realize how Ray is not only a great journalists but a great writer.I wish to read more of his work in the future.I encourage each person to read the book.It is a book worth getting.

I loved it.

Every Arab American has to read it

Wonderful! A MUST READ for EVERY Arab-American

I've never laughed so much, and felt so good about my ethnicity

Excellent book on Arab Americans

I found this to be a fascinating and sometimes humorous look at ethnicity. Although it is about Arab Americans, it is a mirror of my own HIspanic ethnic heritage.

Candid, often amusing look at Arab-American life

Ray Hanania has penned a bittersweet narrative of his family experiences and coming to terms with his ethnic identity in the cultural milieu of Chicago. Amid the humorous anecdotes, one detects a feeling of sadness that dwells within the author, who by the way, is one of the city's most competent and respected journalists. This self-published volume represents years of dedication and hard work,and the commercial success of the volume stands as testament to that fact.
