Michael Gruber, The Good Son: I’m dying to discuss this novel with someone, so please read it or listen to it (great audiobook) immediately!

In a category by itself of politico-thriller, The Good Son was almost impossible to put down.

More accurately, since I was listening to it as an audiobook, I found it impossible to remove my earpiece.  In fact, I bet I walked ten more miles than usual last week just to justify my added listening time.  Good for exercise, and great for a tantalizing, challenging, inspiring, and sometimes troubling story of a Pakistani terror plot. Oh, what a terrible reductive waste of a description that is.  Read it, and then tell me what you thought about it.

  1. I’m not sure how to begin to tell you what I thought about it. This book is quite amazing. I found myself discovering new convoluted routes home from work just to extend the listening sessions. I’m fascinated by the 1st hand feel of all the details pertaining to life in the “Ummah”, and how it is compared and contrasted to life in the western world. How in the world did he research this material?
