5.0 out of 5 stars The Humorous Truth, February 1, 2000
To be able to write a good book,one must indeed have deep vision.Ray Hanania used humor throughout his book, to bring people into reality. He wanted his reader to see beyond,to have a clear vision about the painful,stressful way of life he endured.Yet,he wanted the reader to laugh off the sadness,but not forget the message.I found the book to be a great one.reading it made me realize how Ray is not only a great journalists but a great writer.I wish to read more of his work in the future.I encourage each person to read the book.It is a book worth getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Candid, often amusing look at Arab-American life, June 12, 1998
Ray Hanania has penned a bittersweet narrative of his family experiences and coming to terms with his ethnic identity in the cultural milieu of Chicago. Amid the humorous anecdotes, one detects a feeling of sadness that dwells within the author, who by the way, is one of the city's most competent and respected journalists. This self-published volume represents years of dedication and hard work,and the commercial success of the volume stands as testament to that fact.

I've never laughed so much, and felt so good about my ethnicity

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on Arab Americans
I found this to be a fascinating and sometimes humorous look at ethnicity. Although it is about Arab Americans, it is a mirror of my own HIspanic ethnic heritage.

2.0 out of 5 stars almost unreadable
This book is almost unreadable. I remember Mr. Hanania's work in the Southtown Economist and the Chicago Sun-Times; he apparently had some very good editors. Read more
