Feminist Must-Read

In Prey, Ayaan Hirsi Ali shines a critical, but highly compassionate, light on the issue of Muslim immigration in Europe and how it affects women’s rights and freedoms. This is essential reading for feminists.

Women's Rights are Dissolving. Ayaan Investigates.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's newest book, "Prey", while researched and well-thought out for what Ayaan wanted to say to address the problems she was addressing, adding stories and examples of laws and loopholes that are used by immigrants, leaves you waiting with bated breath, waiting for Hirsi Ali to give concise solutions to the problems that she sees. It also, however, educates the reader to understand that the first problem to be solved is: citizens have not recognized what is actually going on in Europe AND that what is going on IS a problem, further exacerbated by other problems of sexism, patriarchy, rape culture, porn culture, etc. The book seems like a broken record in many ways, in the sense that, Hirsi Ali recounts some stories that we've heard before (those that made international press), societal problems, problematic cultural norms, religious values and political yo-yoing of problems and legislative impotence to deal with violence, etc. What is different about Hirsi Ali's book, however, is that "Prey" superimposes the "broken record" parts of Hirsi Ali's monograph with the issues of increased immigration and specifically with increased immigration from Muslim-majority cultures to demonstrate how immigration is changing Europe and women's rights in Europe. This book is not only a study on these issues: it is a warning to Europe and the entire world to pay attention and understand how mass immigration has, is and will continue, to change their cultures, permanently, for better and for worse.

Necessary Info, Tough to Get Through

The content is rich with statistics and a thorough analysis of the data that gives a tough, but fair reality. Hirsi Ali’s delivery, while authoritative and clearly knowledgeable, was the only weak point for me, but I think another reader would do this content a disservice. Chock this up to personal preference. It’s easily a 4/5 for me, though the content is definitely triggering for some and Hirsi Ali’s reading may be difficult for some to follow.

A Must Read/Hear

An incredibly important book. Difficult to hear the summations of crimes against women but powerful. The last 3 chapters should be required reading for everyone!!!

Really good book but…

I loved this book. I listened to 2 of her other books read by her and I loved them. However, I agree with other reviews that this one should have been read by someone else. Since there is a lot of numbers and more technical words, a native english speaker would have been less distracting.

Excellent eye opener

I found this book to be an eye opener for those people who think Europe is always going to be progressively more liberal, but making references to the Handmaid’s Tale, Ayaan Hirsi Ali points out that in the European Union nations and other places around, the pendulum is swinging in the negative direction. I’d give this book more than five stars, but can’t, but this book is a good read for those who want to learn more about the current state of Europe.

Stunning book. Horrible narration.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, I love you and admire everything you do but please get someone to do the reading for you 🙏🙏🙏

Data supported recommendations

Intensive, long term, footnote documented research on difficult current issues by someone who then tried to apply solutions at the community and national level and who documents the threats to her life from doing such. Worth the time to seriously consider the proposed suggestions.

Superb

Accurately describes the descent into the reprohibition of women’s rights in western countries, the predatory view of women by men from certain cultural and ethnic areas, and the immediately need to protect women and rights worldwide.
