Query: Well worth reading

Prisoners of Hope is a great adventure story and well worth the reading. It is the account of two of a handful of westerners in Afganistan during the Taliban regime and is worth the reading for that reason alone. I was surprised to read so many passionately negative reviews of this book by Amazon[.com] readers. I myself did not approach the book with feelings of sympathy for these ladies, but I walked away from it with a greater understanding and acceptance of their point of view, a point of view which is by no means evil as the other Amazon[.com] reviewers seem to imply.
