Leap of Faith: Memoirs of an Unexpected Life

I wish GoodReads had half stars - I was torn between “it was ok” and “liked it”. I felt like I gained a new perspective on the ongoing crises in the Middle East, one that is different from the daily stories in major American news outlets. I also learned a lot about King Hussein, and he sounds like a really amazing, compassionate, smart person. So I enjoyed those aspects of the book. Plus, it was fun reading about their royal existence. But on the down side, the book was far too detailed. I got the impression that Queen Noor didn't want to leave anything (or anyone) out, for fear of offense. I think all those years of living with strict protocol got to her.
