- Latest Review: Beyond the Golden Door by Ali Master
Review of Beyond the Golden Door
This book is a masterpiece and motivating for those who want to experience a standard lifestyle, the lifestyle that every human dreams of. Ali Master mainly highlights the five freedoms provided in the United States. He traveled from Pakistan to the US and got the standard lifestyle in the US, which every third-world country's citizens will always want to experience. Freedom to fail and be given a second chance, freedom to choose your life partner, freedom to choose religion, freedom to pursue entrepreneurship, and freedom to vote are the privileges of every immigrant traveling to the US. Beyond the Golden Door is a story of inspiration told through an immigrant's eye. I would strongly recommend this book to those who wish to live a standard lifestyle.
The author's writing style is impeccable, with the perfect balance of light and heavy topics. Ali Master's journey as an immigrant in the United States will be inspirational not just for others like him but also for Americans who are losing hope in their nation's culture and values. This book is a testament to what America can provide to its immigrants. The author clearly and bravely discussed the challenges of a third-world country like Pakistan.
Ali Master, born in Pakistan and traveling to America in search of happiness, fell victim to many challenges, like money, relationships, and worse grades. He discovered himself as a successful entrepreneur after giving himself a second chance in life, learning from his past mistakes, and taking on the new challenges of life with patience, resilience, and hard work. After all, achieving his dreams in life and living in the pursuit of happiness lies in his story.
I would rate this book as 4/5. I have earlier justified the positive points of this, while the negative points include that the author emphasizes a strong religious tone, which may make it difficult for non-Christian readers such as Muslims, Jews, and atheists. In some scenarios, the author becomes very idealistic, using an overly optimistic lens, downplaying some of the harsher realities and systemic challenges that many immigrants face while being in the US.
In conclusion, this book is poignant and thought-provoking and sheds light on immigrants' experiences of spending life in America. Master's eloquent style and imagery create a strong narrative that resonates with everyone who has ever felt like an outsider. This book is a must-read for those seeking to understand the complexities of identity.
