Girls of Riyadh: A Novel Audiobook

" OK book. Nothing I didn't really know about the region it takes place in. "

" This book is the story of the trials and tribulations of a group of upper-crust girls in Saudi Arabia. While it was interesting taking a peek into the culture, overall it wasn't that intriguing. It is Saudi chick lit basically. "

" 2.5 parts really annoying, 2.5 parts really intriguing. The 'Times' described it as "Sex in the City, if the city in question were Riyadh", and whether that statement is accurate or not, the book is worth reading just to find out. "

" This was just OK. I'm glad I read it, but it was honestly pretty boring. I didn't feel much connection to any of the characters. It was interesting to get a glimpse into their lives. It was sad to me that women still have no freedom in other parts of the world. "

" sort of like a saudi sex & the city- the tv show, not the book. the reader was great, so it was fun to listen to in the car. but i didn't really get that much out of it. "

" Entertaining and gives an idea on how Saudi girls cope with their culture, religion and society. "

" I can definitely see why this was banned in Saudi. Overall, a quick read about four girls and love, arranged marriages, and the occasional run in with the religious police. "

" a pretty enjoyable read ... a weird & sudden ending though :) .. & a pretty weak English :) ! but overall i was amused :) ... "

" I wish I had the energy to actually write a review about this book. So bad on so many levels. Honestly, I'm just glad to be done with it. "

" It was interesting from a cultural standpoint, but the writing style detracted from the book, in my opinion. The narrator was annoying, and for me, it really broke up the flow of the book. "

" Interesting insights into Saudi culture. I wonder if things are really changing as much as this author would have you thing? In fact, even with her book it made you think the more things changed the more they stayed the say. "

" Just like Steph said - Sex and the City of Saudi Arabia! It's an engaging story, fun to read, and I wouldn't take it for too much other than just a story about women and love in Riyadh. "
