شيئين: 1) ادعاء أختي بأنها ، في الواقع ، لديها أسوأ كلب في العالم له ما يبرره تماما بعد قراءة هذا الكتاب. 2) بالطبع عرفت كيف ستنتهي. بالطبع قرأت ذلك على أي حال. بالطبع كانت الفصول الأخيرة ضبابية لأنني كنت أبكي. ليس هناك طريقة يمكنني التعامل معها في شكل فيلم.

The overwhelming feeling from "Zeitoun" is this: how could this happen? And right behind that question is this: where was the coverage when this all happened? "Zeitoun" will make you realize why one of the fundamental, bedrock features of the judicial system in the United States of America is the idea of due process. Hurricane Katrina was hard enough to fathom--and by "Katrina," I mean the government's response to the disaster. But "Zeitoun" reveals a dark underbelly to the government's response where the rules were jettisoned. Amid the chaos and uncertainty of the disaster, some basic principles of our society were, quite simply, ignored. You couldn't ask for a more compelling central figure to illustrate this story than Abdulrahman Zeitoun. In the first half or so of the book, you are asking yourself if you could do what Zeitoun did--weather the storm, stay in his New Orleans house and spend many days during the flood helping others. In fact, going out to look for ways to help out and taking others under his wing, providing shelter. "Good neighbor" doesn't begin to describe Zeitoun's character. The choice to portray a Muslim man and his family from the Middle Eastern is brilliant--especially to underscore and demonstrate that giving, caring and reaching out to others are not traits that belong to one religion or one faith. Zeitoun's heritage and the many references to fish, water and making supplies stretch to help others will make you think of another religious figure is revered around the world. In fact, religion plays a central role in the entire story, from the Greek captain of a tanker who sparks conversations about the existence of God to the missionary passing out Bibles in the makeshift prison where Zeitoun is trapped. What happens in the second half of the book is stunning. Eggers makes the reader feel as trapped, voiceless and powerless as Abudulrahman Zeitoun. The writing style is simple and so is the straightforward device he uses to illustrate the black hole into which Zeitoun falls. Read this book. You're not fattening Eggers' wallet. All proceeds go to the Zeitoun Foundation, founded in 2099 by the Zeitoun family and the author to aid in the rebuilding of New Orleans and to promote respect for human rights in the United States and around the world. I say let's start with the United States.
