Zabiba and the King by Saddam Hussein
Not so good as a novel, and fortunately a fairly short read at about 200 pages. It's more interesting when you understand it's an allegory and that Saddam (or ghostwriters working under Saddam) wrote this because of the butthurt Saddam felt towards the USA. So for that, I'm giving it an extra star, because of the lulz it gave me.

I think if this story was reworked by an author who had talent, and the allegory was stripped down to be replaced with focus on a interesting story and setting, it show more could have given the viewer a more interesting look into Middle Eastern life back then. show less
