review 1: Lovely memoir about Eteraz's journey in, away from, and back to Islam as he fluctuates between his identities as the intended 'perfume of Islam' to a conservative fundamentalist to a moderate reformer of the religion. There are times when the prose stumbles, but moments of absolute grace and beauty restore the memoir to a fine read for Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Don't expect a primer to Islam, or a "message" to consume in a few bites - Eteraz's struggles with his faith and the West/East divide are messy and confusing, just as life always is. Recommended.
review 2: I would definitely get another book of Ali Eteraz if and only if he decides to write a book on non religion subject. Story begins with Ali’s childhood in Pakistan with a lot of ingenious humor w... morehich I extensively connected with and recalled many similar occasions as a child who grew up in a Muslim country. The subject becomes heavy when Ali grew up and moved to US with his family. His opinion and views about Islam at his teenage years, is something most Muslim teenagers would comprehend. I am afraid a lot of non Muslim readers would find the subject too heavy. Nonetheless, it is a book worth reading for Ali’s remarkable prose. More often than not, I found myself reading the lines over and over just to admire his interesting style of narration and his simple way of perceiving things around him. Children of Dust is certainly a deep title most of us would be left baffled when the meaning is excellently explained by Ali in his book. It definitely impressed me. His extensive knowledge in Islam at a young age is notable. Simply get this book to enjoy Ali’s voyage. As for his analysis and message about the religion, is too subjective. I would make no comment, but it definitely it would bring a certain level of diverse understanding among the readers individually. It is not a subject to be debated over, but a story of Ali and the sole purpose of his existence is explained in his own words and own book. less
