Summary: This book made me a better person
Review: Terrorists know so much more about us that we do about them. Now I understand that this HAS to change.This book made me feel like I was a better person, just for reading it. Moreover, it makes me feel want to be a better person. Easy to read, I read it in 4 nights, when usually it takes me 3 months to read a book. I only know about terrorism what I hear in the news or read in the newspaper. This book is a love story, an education and an eye opener all in one. I now have so much admiration for the dedication of journalists, for the people that I never consciously thought about ...who work around the clock to fight terrorism...to fight for our freedom, for peace, for every one of us on this earth. People who literally and knowingly risk their lives for a better world. Mariane is a remarkable woman, as is her friend Asra - both so brave, smart, courageous and warm. This story is one I wish everyone would read. In writing this book, in publishing it, Mariane Pearl has made the world a better place becasue she opens us up to a world that effects all of us. As I read her book, terrorism struck Madrid, and instead of feeling sorrow while watching the news, I felt so much more - it had so much more meaning.

As is written in the book, terrorists know so much more about us that we do about them. Now I understand that this HAS to change.

Summary: Heartbreaking, Empowering & Triumphant
Review: The book was better than I expected. Like the many people who wrote to Mariane and Adam, I too expereienced unbelivable pain and anger when I heard about Daniel Pearl. For those of you who commented Mariane's story was one sided GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! Did you read the book??? She consistently said good things about Pakistan and the people of Pakistan. Why do you even have to go there??? This book wasn't a personal attack against Pakistanis or Muslims, it is an attack against hatred and unbelievable evil.The book resonates within me, and I wish Mariane and Adam all the best!! God Bless!!

Summary: Extraordinary work.
Review: The Epilogue was the portion of the book that had the most impact on me. I choose to believe that the great majority of the world's people are kind and empathetic, and that we all have much more in common than not. The letters written to Mariane and Adam Pearl by strangers around the world made me weep. In the midst of such tragedy, there is hope and beauty in the world.
