3.5 stars. Though a short volume, this book felt rather long. Ghobash tends towards longwindedness over brevity and that is a downfall.
Essentially, this book seems halfway between Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet and Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me. Ghobash focuses on the multidimensionality of Islam and the fallacy of binaries. He emphasizes heavily the power of responsibility and the role of choice.
As with all books on a contentious subject matter - or really any subject matter – this should be just one book to read, not the only one.
