This book reminds me a lot of the 1980s movie Top Secret! with its slapstick and absurd tone. Or, if you weren't obsessed with Val Kilmer like I was when I was a teenager, Airplane! might be the more well known movie with that same style. That isn't really my favorite type of humor, but it did make for a very quick read and I did enjoy that a slapstick satire by a Muslim author about Western meddling in foreign affairs was completely unlike anything I have ever read.
