My mom originally told me the story when I was younger, and I'm native to the arabic culture (my parents) I was attracted to the story, and DAMN sharazet is a pretty smart heroine, I mean at least my mom said so, and I also agree 
 All the stories are beautifully told, my favorite is ali baba and the forty theives, but thata not important, the important thing is THAT YOU ALL GO AND READ IT OR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!!!! 
 Happy reading :D
