1455508497 I guess his publThis book proves that apparently it is possible to lead an undistinguished, unremarkable life, and yet be given the opportunity to publish your memoirs not only in your home country, but to have a special "American Translation" published to help break you to a whole new market. Imran Ahmad tells the story of his life, one year at a time, offering the reader hilarious vignettes that tell the story of growing up Muslim while living in England. Many of his trial and tribulations along the way are hilarious, and touching, and any of us who have had an unrequited love, or tried to bargin with God, will be able toI thoroughly enjoyed this memoir. DNF at 18%.Sort. This makes the book a quick read.This book is written out like an autobiography of the author whose family migrated from Pakistan to England shortly after partition when he was still a small child. Some achieve greatness, some hang out with the rich and famous and others get away with recounting the details of a fairly ordinary life by wriI often wonder about the sort of people who feel driven to write autobiographies. (This edition is clearly meant for the US, with helpful footnotes explaining some intricacies of UK schooling, and also replaces Britishisms for their American equivalents, like "subway" and "cell phone." In his own quiet, subtle way Imran Ahmad has addressed some big themes. Undoubtedly some are just self-indulgent show-offs, others are driven by the opportunity to make a lot of money before their fifteen minutes of fame are past and some feel the need to record the 'truth' behind some historically important things that happened in their lives. A fascinating topic, but the book is so poorly written as to be unreadable. The writing though is engaging, and honest, remarkably so, and Imran emerges as a decent young man, with all the bad habits, concerns and confusions of the young. Both deliciously funny and deeply insightful, THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN is a beguiling multi-layered memoir that has touched the hearts of readers all over the world. Welcome back. He campaigned for human conditions for prisoners, paupers, lunatics, and convicts.
Refreshingly, Ahmad is effortlessly humorous, never breaking a sweat while revealing humor in everyday events and situations. Medicine was really amazing then, foolish.I almost gave up halfway through but trudged on. Far from it. Both concern the same extraordinary doctor. Many of his trial and tribulations along the way are hilarious, and touching, and any of us who have had an unrequited love, or tried to bargin with God, will be able to sympathise with him. Enter Imran Ahmad. His many thoughtful discussions of the differences between Islam and Christianity and his attempts to understand religion were interesting. I had high hopes for this book. Barry was a child prodigy, graduating from medical school in his early teens (possibly as young as 12, depending on the veracity of the year of birth) and promptly entered the army (possibly under the age 14). On one level this is an endearing coming of age story told by a person who is a Pakistani Muslim living in Great Britain. The use of he/she throughout was confusing but Dr. Barry was fascinating, even if this book was not.I loved it. He demanded rigorous cleanliness in sickrooms, daily linen changes, frequent dressing of wounds, and diets heavy on fruits and vegetables. He was way ahead of his time.

The ending of the book was not my favorite, but that's ok. I thought this book was great. I did find the afterword a little more interesting than some of the chapters. (This edition is clearly meant for the US, with helpful footnotes explaining some intricacies of UK schooling, and also replaces Britishisms for their American equivalents, like "subway" and "cell phone." The writing though is engaging, and honest, remarkably so, and Imran emerges as a decent young man, with all the bad habits, concerns and confusions of the young. Join Imran in his lifelong struggle against corruption and injustice, and as he grapples with some of Life's most profound questions. If Imran wrote a book that discusses everything in the afterword, I would read it as soon as I could.I laughed aloud at this book, a lot. I really like the way Imran pointing out quite a lot of stuff about Islam in a very rational & universal way, to the level I'm recommending it to both non-Moslem & Moslem. It is a clever device and reminds us how whatever we are now, we are built on what's gone before.

The beginning was charming and the prejudice that Imran experiences made me both sad and angry. Entertaining memoir from an interesting point of view: Moslem boy meets the West. Published Anne Lamott, the beloved writer of memoirs including Bird by Bird and Traveling Mercies, once said, “You own everything that happened to you.
