review 1: I read this book not knowing what to expect and ended up being pleasantly surprised. Kristiane lead a fun filled social life as a TV presenter before exploring the principles of Islam. The book details her early life before the influence of religion, right through to her conversion into a Muslim and the difficulties she faced in this journey.I did not read this for any religious reasons, however I enjoyed understanding some of the underlying principles of Islam, which are grossly misunderstood by many. Kristiane has gone through an interesting and challenging journey to get to where she is today and I admire her tenacity and determination to get there.
review 2: I was interested in this book for some time but never actually ordered it. Then I had the pleasur... moree of meeting Ms Backer at a conference and decided to get her book while I was there. Thank goodness I did! What a fabulous book! I am a revert to Islam of a similar age to her and grew up watching MTV and going to some of the concerts that she talks about in this book. I was really interested in what led her to Islam and made her decide to leave such a completely different way of life.I really couldn't put this book down. It is actually rather sad in parts but extremely fascinating. I could really relate to the struggles she faced with the culture that many Muslims mistake for Islam. Her travels around the world really showed her lots of different ways Islam is interpreted. This book is not just for Muslims either, after my raving about it I already have a non Muslim friend who has ordered it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I don't personally follow the Sufi way myself but each to their own. Fabulous book a must read and I really hope she finds the happy family life that she deserves insha'Allah. less
