Reseñas de la Crítica

"Crammed with harrowing details, Hirsi Ali's account is a significant contribution to our times." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"A clearly written and fascinating account of exceptional courage." ( Library Journal)
" Infidel is a unique book, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a unique writer, and both deserve to go far." ( The Washington Post)

Eloquent and courageous story

This brave book explores and explodes many of the myths behind what makes up real Islamic culture. This is a culture where women still are living under repressive conditions in the "modern" Islam world. Her brave journey from her tribal beginnings to a think tank in the is remarkable. Her courage and trials make her a trailblazer for generations to come. With a generous spirit she does not hate the Islamic people but rather the repressive interpretation of the Koran which has kept their culture at a standstill for hundreds of years.

extraordinary!

I couldn't stop listening. it places everything in context. it also shows us that the press and politicians refuse to see the truth about Islam and prefer to be hypocrites to the truth.

Vital for Understanding Islam

I've been on a quest in recent years to understand Islam as it relates to major world events. The side of Islam that Hirsi Ali talks about in this book is something that everyone needs to examine even if it raises some uncomfortable questions. Don't believe the hype that this book is "Islamophobic" or otherwise bigoted. It's not. It's a woman talking about what she experienced. While it may not be the only book you need to understand Islam in today's world, it's one that you definitely shouldn't skip over.

Her delivery is also very pleasant and easy to listen to.

Riveting

This book has changed me. I recommend for everyone. It grabs you and won’t let you go. Hard to put down.

Eye-Opening

Brilliant book by one of the most courageous females of our lifetime. There is no one alive today who has the audacity to speak out like this author has. Unbelievable story of pain and triumph. A must read!!
