Daughters Of Arabia: Princess 2

I loved to read both the books and have recommended these to many of my friends. The Princess Sultana's daughters was very equally interesting. The analogy of the impact on the next generation who have seen nothing but luxury and are still the victims of this strict Islamic culture.

The sequel keeps up the interest generated by the first book. With an easy writing style and straightforward storytelling Jean takes us further into Princess Sultana's world. While it is an entertaining read it does make you want to know more...

Awesome book on the misogynist culture of Arabs. This is not about religion but about power over women which the men will never give up willingly. Then they would have to be responsible human beings. Right now, they are nothing more than glorified teenagers(the majority, not all of them). Islam is a wonderful religion that has been bastardized by selfish greedy men.

Wow!! Confirmed the savageness and complete coldheartedness toward women! Never even fathomed that this type of disgusting abuse still existed in this day and age!! Makes me forever grateful of my American existance!!

Bought as Christmas present for someone. She Really liked it. Read it twice. Great insight into life in another country. How lucky we are to be in America. Took too long to let you know, but I bought other books by this author.

Very interesting to read about the Saudi culture. The book kept my interest and was hard to put down. I read the first book about Princess Sultana and wanted more. A co-worker told me there were more books about her family and had to go on-line and order more. Couldn't wait to get started.

The stories are amazing. Princess Sultana is now an adult trying to guide her family despite rigorous traditions. After reading the first book book flows through her life story. The characters are complex and most are sympathetic.

I read the first book and was appalled (although not surprised) at the treatment of women even within the wealthiest of households in Saudi Arabia. In fact, I read all 3 (because my Kindle makes it easy to just keep going!) - and by the time I got to the end of the trilogy and found the tone so saccharin and phony that I couldn't finish the third book. Princess Sultana emerges as a spoiled princess with an artificial sense of her own enlightenment.

This book was very insightful of how women of other lands live. We here in America have it so much better then women of other countries. The book was well written and was hard to put down once you started reading it

I was disappointed in this book. Princess Sultana while championing Arab women's rights appeared to enjoy her status in the Royal Saud family and all the money that accompanied it. She writes of all their many palaces, Leer Jets, private cars to take them from their homes to the jets on the tarmac, and the ability to travel throughout that part of the world as if every Arab woman has the same opportunity. Just didn't feel she had any connection to the average Arab woman.

After reading the first book, I was anxious to read more but about half way through the Princess Sultana's Daughters, I found it became tedious and somewhat boring. I tired of reading of the lavish lifestyle and excessive materialistic way of life led by the royal family and was disgusted by the double standard the men of this culture lead. I lost interest and did not finish it. A waste of money as far as I am concerned.

This is a great book. A real page turner. After reading this, I read all the books by this author that I could find to get some insight into the way of life in that part of the world. So totally different from how we live here. I would recommend it.

Princess Sultana's Daughters was a very dissapointing book. After having read ALL of Jean Sasson's books in this series over the years I was anxious to read this book but found it to be boring and drawn out. There was so much drama in this book but maybe that is how the culture is in their country. I was so hoping for a continuation of Jean Sasson's writing style but did not find it in this book.

This book really shared the harsh life a woman has in Arabic country's,and the struggles that some have strived to improve the treatment of women'the horrors that they must endure is atrocious. And I,m thankful that I live in America where the men and are nearly equal.

I am greatly interested in the Middle East. This book helped me to begin that process of understanding. It is horrific what the fundamentilist's section of their religion has done to the women there.

Just partway through. Did not read earlier in series. Writing is less than literary....more like a journal written by a very unhappy person. Bad mouth mother-in-law, husband, daughter's friend (all their fault). Story could be more compelling if told by another author. Telling detracts from story and makes one question veracity.
