Growing up bin Laden: Osama's Wife and Son Take Us Inside Their Secret World Audiobook

" VERY interesting! I liked it alot, but then read some stuff on the internet that makes the things Omar Bin Laden wrote undependable. He may be telling the truth in alot of the stories, but he seems to be somewhat of a questionable character. I'm not sure how you couldn't be, being raised by Obama. But, it was still very interesting and informative to read and I would highly recommend it. "

" It was a first hand peek into what the family of Osama Bin Laden had to endure during their years with him. This information was something that was unavailable to the public till now. A very well drafted book...engaging and fascinating. "

" A fascinating inside view from a son of Bin Laden..I especially enjoyed the section on how the Taliban insulted Osama bin Laden.Osama was very strange in many ways e.g. He completely avoided using electricity or modern electric appliances as he thought it was a western invention.He used to reprimand his sons on laughing and actually used to tell them how many teeth they used to show when they laughed and not do it again.I was also suprised to know he could speak perfect English and Pushto. "

" One of the greatest books I've ever read. It's REALLY worth to read. I found out so much about bin Laden's life and I'm totally shocked. "

" I highly recommend this book. It's an inside view of life in the Osama bin Laden family, told from the personal viewpoint of his first wife and fourth son... both of whom left Osama for good shortly before 9/11. "

" I didn't care for it. I unfortunately cannot read it without great cynicism. The mother and son's voice sounds remarkably the same. Read in the light of current events, it comes off as untrue in many ways. "

" Gives some perspective on someone who has affected all our lives for the last 10 years. 3 stars only because while not poorly written, it wasn't necessarily well written either. also, unsurprisingly, after reading you still don't understand how a person could carry out 9/11. "

" I could not put this book down. Written by a son and wife of Osama bin Laden, this book gives the reader a first-hand look at Osama's life pre-9/11. Well-written and equally captivating, Growing Up bin Laden is a must-read. "

" A bit sluggish at start but overall well narrated. "

" Interesting read learnt a lot from reading it "

" Very disturbing look into the bin Laden world. Would have given 5 stars if I knew it was all true. Also a good intro to why the US is embroiled in all the current conflict overseas. "

" Pleasantly surprised by this book. A great read!! "

" this was one of my favourite books ever. I really enjoyed this. "

" I've just realized I've never really read a biography. Always a fictional account of someone's life, so I'm interested in humanizing a monster. "

" This is the book that turned me into a non-fiction fan "

" An inside look to the life of the Bin Laden family growing up. "

" A great insight into the lives of Osama bin Laden's wives and children through the eyes of his son and wife! Great read. Shows how the mind can change from a "normal" type of person to a psycho killer. "

" I didn't care for it. I unfortunately cannot read it without great cynicism. The mother and son's voice sounds remarkably the same. Read in the light of current events, it comes off as untrue in many ways. "

" Very interesting to hear the inside story! "

" Downright scary. The son was very forthcoming with all his thoughts both pro and against his father".......Am so glad I am not a women in their world!!! "
