"I found this book interesting, uncomfortably informative, addictive and necessary. “Looking for Palestine” is a memoir/coming-of-age by the young Najla Said, an actress, writer and daughter of the brilliant Edward Said (a Columbia professor and prominent advocate of Palestine independence), and Mariam Said (artist, writer and activist). I’ve seen Najla’s play of the same name, but her book took me even further into this young New Yorker’s quest to make some sense of all of her worlds. If your goal is to be immersed and moved, this is it."

Let's see, how can I find the words to describe The Professor and the Madman? I think the best place to start would be the dictionary. Thanks to James Murray, played by Mel Gibson, and Dr. William Chester Minor, played by Sean Penn, I am able to write this review and easily look up the definition of every word I use. Sean Penn delivers one of the best performances of his career as the madman Dr. Minor. Such an incredible story that was brought to life cinematically and told beautifully.
