review 1: Miral tells the story of the Palestinian/ Israeli conflict through the eyes of several different characters. The stories are intertwined to give the reader a sense of connection as well as setting the tone that one's actions can have an immense effect on others, whether positive or negative. The book was extremely better than the movie in my opinion. The movie was good, but with the time constrants and probably the budget, there was no way to fit everything in. Miral really helped me understand some of the issues that occurred in the middle east and are ongoing.
review 2: I really liked it! I believe this book to be autobiographical in nature, and I applaud Rula Jebreal for her courage, honesty, and bravery growing up Palestinian in Jerusalem. It's true, she ... moremakes no apologies for her characters, there is no in-depth analysis of her protagonists, and no bleeding heart ramblings of extremist belief. There is merely an honest portrayal of human beings caught in spiral of something beyond an individual's control. less
