This book reads like a novel, read it in about 16 hrs. total. Have also read, because of this book: The Rise, Corruption and Coming Fall of The House of Saud, by Said K. Aburis; and The Kingdom: Arabia & The House of Sa'ud, by Robert Lacy.
Just finished The Looming Tower which is not just a great piece of investigative journalism but on of the best books I've ever read. Would love to see HBO turn it into a mini-series like THE WIRE.
