This is an amazing story of one man's will to live being ultimately rewarded. The author's family- friendly presentation manages to convey the awful realities of war and the thrill of escape without profanity or lurid detail. Highly recommended!

Written by a reporter who has a Catholic perspective, the writer explores the decline of religious tolerance and freedom in the Middle East by her interviews of the everyday people who live there. In many ways, it's a sad tale - not the tear-jerking kind but a sadness of a getting an increased understanding of desperate human suffering without any earthly prospect of relief. She spares the goriest details - a good thing - but there's still plenty to help illustrate the plight of various ancient peoples who can no longer take for granted their freedom of worship. One eye-opening point was why Christians in these places actually support dictators. My biggest personal disappointment with the book was the amount of space the author gives about her own life - I almost thought I had somehow gotten an incorrect book until I got past the initial pages. But aside from this, there's a lot of human interest and readers will gain appreciation of their own freedoms that they may otherwise take for granted.

On the plus side, there were quite a few very interesting stories about corvids - which is what I was after. They are remarkable creatures! While the narrator did a great job, as a layperson I found that the heavy emphasis on the science of how brains work made the work difficult to follow. And the time devoted to the theory of evolution (which was presented as fact) was disappointing from my perspective. If I were a scientist as well as a nature lover, I would have probably given this book a 5.

Great for researchers but unfortunately not well suited if you're looking for human interest stories.
