Good book..
Disappointing
Such an amazing subject and fascinating topic!
Good!
The book is very interesting.
The Orientalist: Solving the Mystery of a Strange and Dangerous Life
This is the exhaustively well-researched biography of an intriguing man.
Fascinating story, but too long
This story is unbelieveable, but for the extensive research that obviously backs it up.
Superlatives Don't Adequately Describe This Book!
When I was a teenager, I read all night under the covers using a flashlight.
Nussimbaum, Essad Bey...enough (Kurban) Said
The only real question left after reading this biography is how did Tom Reiss come up with the idea to write this book?
Fascinating subject, as told by an impeccable scholar
THE ORIENTALIST is, very simply, one of the best books I've ever read.
...I liked it anyway
The Orientalist takes the reader through some of the great upheavals of the last 150 years, including the demise of the Russian Empire Bolshevik Revolution, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, both World Wars, the fate of the Russian Emigrees, the upheaval in Germany that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler.
The Gifts of the Fairies
I envy Tom Reiss his gifts as a writer.
