This is a very good book because it deals with some of the most important issues (like tolerance/intolerance, cultural invasion/cultural infusion, revolution/reform) in Iranian history and society. The author deals with these issues very sensibly and fairly. His sense of fairness in dealing with divisive issues in the Iranian politics and society is really respectable. I recommend this book to those who care to see Iranian issues from a progressive and multi-dimensional perspective.

I read this book and found it very interesting, refreshing, and enlightening. The author's passion for tolerance, dialogue, and respect for pluralism in the Iranian society is both admirable and inspiring. I recommend it to any Iranian who is interested in seeing democracy in that country.

This person does not understand the significant role of Islam and Rohaniyat in Iran. Iran is an Islamic country and Western democracy is no solution for it. Rohaniyat has been an important force in shaping Iran and continues to do so, no matter what western loving intellectuals like this author say and wish. The only thing I liked about this book is its Farsi language. For a person who does not live in Iran, the language of the book is clear, nice, and eloquent.
