Between Two Worlds: My Life and Captivity in Iran Audiobook

" Sad that so many people live in a country where they have limited rights. Her level of frustration with the system was heartfelt. I grieve for all those who are in similar situations. "

" I liked it, but I couldn't help but wish for more of her life before her arrest, so we could know how she was researching her book and what her life was like before. But I liked how she humanized even her guards. "

" What a ride! A must-read for anyone who's interested in American-Iranian relations and the rights of journalists. "

" Non fiction, quick read, very interesting, "

" A young (naive?) perspective on the closed regime of Iran. The women prisoners were the most memorable and influential characters. A real-life story where the heroine does eventually leave her captors, but with mixed emotions regarding her forced confession, the women she leaves behind in prison, and the country she is trying to understand. "

" It is hard to believe people can have any kind of private lives in some countries. "

" This is a good book, however she seems very removed from the situation. Bahman seems to disappear in the end - was he not able to get to Vienna? Or did I miss that part... "

" I really loved this book. I loved everything about the writing and the story. I felt like the writer and I were dear friends by the end of the book. "

" Reading Roxana's book made me think about perseverance, true beliefs and overcoming fear. I definitely receomend this book. "

" Very well written and interesting account of Iran's prison/court system. "

" This book took me a day and a half to read because I couldn't put it down "

" Learned way more then I ever wanted to about Irag and Sadam. "

" I attended college with Roxana Saberi. We worked together at our campus tv center, so this was of particular interest to me. I would have been fascinated even if I didn't know her. "

" Fantastic, engaging read. I met Roxana briefly prior to her speaking engagement at my mom's lecture series and after reading her account of her time in Evin Prison I am even more impressed by her poise and grace. "

" Interesting peak inside Irans prisons and techniques. I had not heard the term white torture until I ead this book and she does a good job of explaining what it must feel like. A raw reminder to appreciate the freedoms we take for granted everyday. "

" Interesting account of her struggles, also reveals a lot of information about Iran and what the average person thinks / believes rather than just the propaganda we hear. "

" Certainly a book that I keeps me flipping from one page to another. To be in her shoes is definitely terrifying. Solute goes to prisoners there who are brave & strong enough to go through such a tough ordeal. The truth always prevail. "

" A fascinating account of journalist Roxanda Saberi's 100 days in Iranian prison. Written without bitterness or recrimination, Saberi shows a love for the Iranian people and country of Iran while calling out it's corrupt leadership. "

" This book really makes me appreciate the freedom of speech we have here. It is sad when a country (or regime) controls it's media, citizens, and way of life with the threat of prison. "

" This book probably did not so much add to my knowledge as it reinforced the impressions and knowledge I already had. I will be much more interested in reading the book Saberi was researching, which she does intend to have published. "

" This is a good book, however she seems very removed from the situation. Bahman seems to disappear in the end - was he not able to get to Vienna? Or did I miss that part... "

" This is a book group pick. "

" Just heard the author speak at Notre Dame. They gave out free copies of the book. Anybody want to borrow it? "

" This book really makes me appreciate the freedom of speech we have here. It is sad when a country (or regime) countries it's media, citizens, and way of life with the threat of prison. "

" At times I felt like I was reading Kafka's The Trial, but ultimately Saberi's story is much more hopeful, which as a jaded soul I find surprising, since her story is true.<br/><br/>Probably the most compelling book I've read all year. "

" Fascinating. Eye-opening. Distressing. But good to know about... "

" Terrific; really interesting and moving. <br/> "
