Towelhead

For sometime now, I've somehow forgotten how to read novels. And after complaining about this for a while, I decided to buy a new book. (which lets face it, I have plenty of books to read at home) Anyhow I spent a whole twelve dollars at Barnes and Noble on a book named Towelhead by Alicia Erian. I was not expecting to delve right into this book immediately, but Sundays are always to boring to do anything more than sleep, eat, fuck or read. (pardon my french) Since I hadn't any interest in doing any of the above, (I wasn't feeling well) I relaxed on my bed and began reading. I wasn't surprised that this book was too good to put down. I knew that it would be based on the first line of the book, which starts off with "My mother's boyfriend got a crush on me, so she sent me to live with Daddy." I wouldn't want to give too much away but, the book is about an overdeveloped thirteen-year old girl sent to live with her Arab father in Texas during Saddam Hussein's invasion into Kuwait. Read it, or see the movie which apparently came out in September of 2008.
