It's bad enough they censor books in their own country. Not that you have to read a book to know that Saudi Arabia is the head of the Islamist snake. They export extreme Wahhabism to countries all over the world, fund Hamas and other terror groups, not to mention the fact that Osama bin Laden, 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers and 90% of the foreign jihadis in Iraq are all Saudis.
You want to know about the REAL Saudi Arabia? There's a book titled "Princess" by Jean Sasson about a former sultana of the Saudi royal family who fled the country. Her accounts of the realities of life in Saudi Arabia, including the use of foreign domestics as sex slaves and and the execution of a raped teenager right after she delivered the baby will turn your stomach. Get it before the Saudis have that one banned, too.
What can you say about a country whose religious police beat back hundreds of nightgown-clad girl students into a burning dormitory and chained the doors to preserve "public decency"?
