Sheikhs, Lies and Real Estate: The Untold Story of Dubai Paperback – January 2, 2013

I gave this book a high rating because it opened my eyes to-recent history that I did not even know. Very interesting, a good education.The only thing I really disliked was the dirty language in quite a few areas. This book would have been just as well done and interesting without that.

Quite revealing! I had a sense that Dubai was not peaches and cream, but it was even more decandant than I imagined.

I do not remember it has been a while since I read it but not sure if Fiction was anywhere on the book. It reads like fiction and I have to believe it is. Moves pretty fast and is an ok read.Escape from Dubai is a 5 star book since its 100% non fiction. This is ok for a quick read.

Anyone thinking of relocating to Dubai or the UAE or even the Middle East should read this book. Having spent a good deal of time there, I kept thinking while reading this book, "Oh yeah, oh yeah." Even though this is billed as a novel, it rings true. The author knows what he's writing about. And even if you're not going over there, the author tells a great story.

Very interesting story about the Dubai property bubble. Virtually all of the main events can be corroberated so there is no doubt the author really knows what he is talking about. Having said that the writing style is so-so at best and I personally found it very difficult to relate to the protagonist (for personal reasons) so that took the edge off my enjoyment of the book a bit.

This was a interesting read as I read it on my way to Dubai. I learned alot from this book and made me even more excited to travel to Dubai

This book answered many questions I had about the economy in Dubai. Learned about the rise and fall. Strongly suggest reading read for class because I'll be traveling to Dubai over spring break.

Truth came to light.
