The book tells unusual events and stories about upper echelon of saudi royal family. As a western person, he was shocked by their double_standard, extravagance and ignorace of their people. He finds out the truth at last that it is not the saudi royal family that has to be protected from the people, it is the saudi people that must be protected from the royal family. Having the honor of discussing some points with the author himself makes my experience of reading this book amazing.

filled with plenty of interesting insights into the Saudi royal family, but I think some chapters should've been shorter, great read though

The book started slowly and build up through the secrets of Saudi Royals.
The author supposedly a bodyguard. There were many scandals and a lot of facts. But few parts and few chapters were dragging for too long with a lot of
Repeating of the same stories. The book could have been halved and it would have been juicier. Mark Young while he was very harsh on the people he worked
For, he was messaging his own ego too much.
Overall it is very entertaining and for anyone who wants to know the inner life and scandal of high royalty; this is a good book for the summer.

This book is so poorly written, it's like a 13 years old girl trying to portray innocence as she pass along gossip. I tried to handle it as a fictional novel, but even then I could not keep reading (and I almost never give up on a book). Maybe because it was written in a different time? Maybe it's just that his reactions are too exaggerated? Maybe because I have a hard time believing stories that I don't trust the source of. I could go on and on about every flaw I find in this book, but I'll stop here.
