Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!
Review: Zoya is a non-violent revolutionary. Zoya is strong and has a good heart. She is an excellent role model. She works endless hours selflessly. I feel that she is an incredible person, and that all people should read her story. It is easy to feel compassion towards her and her friends. She is an all around good person, and puts the needs of others before her own.
Zoya has helped so many, and done things I would not have the guts to do.Would I recommend Zoya's Story: An Afghan Woman's Struggle for Freedom? YES! This book was incredible. It gave me a total different view of Afghans, their lives, and their response to September 11th.
Zoya opens up you to her world and the world of others. I highly suggest you read this book. It was so interesting! You truly felt empathy for her. I would not suggest this book for people that have a hard time stomaching a few gory details, but this is what she sees daily. This is probably one of my favorite non-fiction books. It opened my eyes to something I had shown ignorance to before.
