"Unimagined" by Imran Ahmad

How strange that such a trite and puerile book that converts, in some cases, relatively minor incidences into life changing traumas, should result in such gushing reviews across a range of respectable British reviewers from the Guardian, Cambridge University and indeed the BBC. Oh I had to eat eggs, instead of fish and chips, boo hoo! This is notwithstanding, of course, the reality of the general scourge of racism describled.

There are billions of people in the world experiencing "unimaginable" hardships at any one time, making this hypocritical twerp's simplistically written tome all the more galling.

There were some minor points of interest in gaining a better understanding of Islam and Muslim values (which is what initially seemed attractive about this book), however Ahmand's shallow objectification of women and grasping middle class pretensions tend to neutralise this positive aspect of the book.

Lets hope that in spite of itself Unimagined does succeed in making a contribution to good relations across religious/cultural boundaries.
