## Description

Playing Atari with Saddam Hussein: Based on a True Story : Roy, Jennifer, Fadhil, Ali: desertcart.in: Books

Review: My 10 yr old son, who is fascinated by history, said this book was "brilliant". He whizzed through it, couldn't put it down.
Review: My 6th grade son read this book for school. He need to pick a book within the genre of historical fiction. Given this book has video game and soccer references it appeared to be a good choice. He really enjoyed it. I read it after him and I have to say it is very well written. It provides a first hand account from a child's perspective of how war has affected people to some extent. It lightly touches on religious differences, politics, the devastation of war, cultural differences, and more. I highly recommend this book.

*by T***N on 25 June 2018*

This quick read reels you in immediately, holding your attention until the last page. Fascinating, up-close viewpoint from a child’s eyes about a time period the target audience would have no recollection about...because they weren’t born yet. Lots to think about and discuss. The simplistic language, perhaps because it was co-written by a non-native English speaker, sometimes distracted me. Perhaps that is a good thing, though, because it reminded me of the narrator and his backstory.
