Summary: Self-Absorbed American in Arabian Nights Tale
Comment: After reading some of the negative reviews here, I was a bit trepidatious when I started this novel, but after reading and enjoying Le Divorce (despite its many negative reviews on Amazon), I decided to give it a go. Suprisingly, it was not horrible at all. I found it a very fun and enjoyably light read, with typical Diane Johnson characters, self-centered, blind to their surroundings, and not altogether pleasant. Actually, I found this plot much more cohesive than Le Divorce (for which Ms. Johnson was nominated for the National Book Award), with fewer loose ends. But I would still have preferred that she stay away from the political intrigue-type shenanigans (which she never really explained satisfactorally) and stick to her characters, whom she writes about with great wit and charm.
I did not find the book at all boring, as some earlier reviewers have described, and am completely puzzled as to the reference of a "string of 4-letter words." I certainly didn't notice any. I wonder if we read the same book?

Summary: boring and poorly written
Comment: I don't know how anyone could have enjoyed this book. It's horrible! There's no plot in Persian Nights whatsoever and I practically fell asleep every time I tried to read it. After reading and enjoying Le Divorce I found this book by Diane Johnson to be far worse. I recommend this book be avoided by anyone who does not want to sit through a slow, dull, and overall bad read. I honestly don't know how it got any good reveiws at all. Try one of her other novels maybe, but steer clear of this one!
Rating: 4
Summary: A really goo read
Comment: I have just started reading this wonderful author, and I found this book,which was printed a while ago. I love the way she writes, and I really enjoy her characters and the situations she gets them into. I only gave this four stars and I am not really sure why, maybe because I didn't like it quite as much as the others I have read of hers. But it is worth reading, so don't let the four stars turn you off.
