| 2 | ** Due to the AmbiguousSituation of the novel, it's easy to do this with both Changez and The American. [[spoiler:Is The American really a government operative sent to kill Changez, thus explaining his paranoia? Or has Changez been occupying the American, so that he and his associates can harm him?]] |
| 3 | ** There's also the matter of whether or not Changez is truly a sympathetic character damaged by personal tragedy, or a hypocrite who blames America for his own failings. (Of course, whether or not the novel is a criticism of America, or simply a perspective of it, is another discussion in and of itself.) |
| 4 | * NightmareFuel: Somewhat low-key, but Changez's smile at the report of the World Trade Center collapse, as a "symbol of America being brought to its knees", is a disconcerting moment for a number of reviewers, to say the least. Even Changez is disturbed by the way he reacted, in hindsight. |
