Buku ini aku beli karena aku menang lomba penulisan di kampus. Wah, langsung habis deh hadiahnya. Buku ini bagus, dan sering aku jadikan jawaban akan pertanyaan kekaguman ku pada perempuan dengan jilbab. Foto-foto di dalam buku ini sungguh bagus. Tulisannya sederhana dan menjelaskan dengan baik tanpa ada kesan menggurui.
