The part in which I felt the truth really came out about the changes that had taken place was when Usama had spoken with the old man at the farm. Usama tries to get him to remember who he was, and asks about his cousin Adil who had worked there, and it all seems foreign to the man. I thought that showed how so much had changed that someone would seem as if they had been brainwashed with that thing Tommy Lee Jones uses in Men In Black.
At first, I found it a bit strange the way each chapter started, then I realized the impact it gave later. As each chapter ended, the next one began in a completely new setting with a completely new event taking place. Eventually I liked the way it jumped from story to story in a rather rapid manner, greatly emphasizing the number of issues and hardships these people went through living under such intimidating conditions.
Also, I found this interesting picture:

I really liked the part with the old man on the farm as well, it really did seem as though he had been brainwashed. I liked how the chapters started too, it gave the book a good flow which made it really easy to just keep reading non-stop.
