I recently reviewed the book if interested you can find it on my blog.

I have no doubt she wrote it. I am not surprised she feels the Saudis have nothing to complain about. The beneficiaries of the system (any system) have a stake in its continuity regardless others feel about it. The trouble is, the men who rule know that people have a lot to complain about and unless drastic reforms are implemented “The Arab Spring” will find its way to the land because the people have a lot to complain about. I wonder what the rest of the Girls of Riyadh think of Raja al-Sanea’s promotional comments.
