"You're talking to the man who put on a golf tournament in North Korea with O.J. Simpson", September 27, 2007
This review is from: Florence of Arabia (Audio CD)
"You're talking to the man who put on a golf tournament in North Korea with O.J. Simpson."
With his latest offering full of such zinger comments, Christopher Buckley, son of famed Conservative author William F. Buckley, takes on Islam in this one. It is not hard to figure out who is supposed to be whom in this one and the topic women's rights in Arabia is certainly a topical and fertile ground.
A little too long for my tastes (just a couple of twists and turns too many), it was, nonetheless, an enjoyable listen. The reader, Carrington MacDuffie does a good, but not great job. She has trouble with all of the accents (sometimes her French and Arabic accents get muddled together), but she does a good job as the voice of "Florence".
I give this one a grade of B+. Recommended, especially if you have an interest in Middle East politics.
