I absolutely love how Alexander made Cody out to be what every typical kid wants to be famous. He wants to be known, and most people, even adults, can relate to that. This fact made it easy to relate to the main character about how some things work. Where Moitessier needs a bespoke sailboat, and plenty of supplies, to make his escape from the unbearableness of the day-to-day, Tomas Espedal needs only to step outside the door, decide whether to turn left or right, and just keep walking. This existentially narked Norwegian feels imprisoned by his limited world – his flat, the local bar where he drinks and then drinks some more. When this gets too much for him, he walks. But he refuses to wear hiking gear, preferring a suit. He loves to chain smoke as he goes, so as to annoy the more conservative ramblers. This is a deep and hilarious book about small truancies.

I have already read a few books by Alexander, which were amazing. This one Escape did not disappoint either. I couldn't wait to get to the ending to see how everything ended up. Here is something I have learned the hard way, but which a lot of well-meaning people in the West have a hard time accepting: All human beings are equal but all cultures and religions are not. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Nomad, p. 212 However, the kind of escape I am interested in – and the kind I have explored in my book The Tunnels: Escapes Under the Berlin Wall – is a physical escape. The book explores the early years after the Wall’s construction began in 1961 and the daring attempts (some successful, many not) by young West Germans to bring to freedom friends, lovers, family members and even strangers. They didn’t have to outsmart brutal jailers. Instead they contended with East German police and military and the Stasi secret police, not to mention British and American officials and intelligence operatives, while avoiding – or at times soliciting – dramatic media coverage.

That she had a sense of self, and a sense that this was all terribly wrong, is only a small indication of what a strong woman she is.

Women are forced into arranged marriages. They are encouraged to have as many children as possible. This not only gives them more "power" in their polygamous household, but it also is progress towards their exalted place in the celestial kingdom.

Mothers are basically not permitted to "mother" their children; physical affection is discouraged; hugs and kisses, a sign of weakness and coddling, extinct past the nursing years.

His point is that Christians are called to love, but instead often erroneously seek power while jettisoning love.
