This is a devastating and beautiful book. It gives an insight into Afghanistan and Illuminates a childhood betrayal that sows excruciating destruction which reverberates through 2 generations. I read this book 19 years ago and it still haunts my memory. Highly recommend. An amazing book.
This is a powerful, painful hero journey set in Afghanistan at the rise of the Taliban and in southern California after the main characters escape. It’s a painful lesson in doing the right things even when they are hard because the aftermath is even harder when you don’t do the right thing.
Excellent
This book was heart wrenching. An incredible story of two boys and their unlikely friendship. Very interesting look into the life and culture of pre-Taliban Afghanistan and the changes that take place as the Taliban begin to take control. A book about choices and their consequences and the chance for redemption. I consider this one of the best books I’ve ever read.
This book is about the friendship of two boys the interesting thing is that ,you can relate yourself with one of these boys- do read
A glimpse into a very different life experience.
I enjoyed reading about a place I will never go to and traditions that I never knew about.
I read this quite a while ago. The action takes place in Afghanistan and one becomes acquainted with how things used to be before all the wars and how things changed because of the wars.
Such an interesting book. Informative on many levels
Hosseini takes us back to his country of origin (India) and writes a wonderful story of two young boys who as friends grow up in this mysterious, strange, and dangerous land. Don’t miss this one or his other wonderful books.
I have read this book twice it is a good read something to make you think.
Read this several years ago. Loved it and couldn’t put it down.
One of my all time favorite books. It is an amazing story that opened my eyes to the continuous control for Afghanistan.
Loved this book. Gives you an idea of culture and life in Afghanistan. Great characters.
Wonderful read – flipped from delightful to heart wrenching. Hard to put down and sad to finish!
One of the best
loathsome book
I read this primarily because it was listed as a banned book. The story is heartbreaking and brutally honest. It will take you to a culture where you are a stranger, yet there are threads of humanity that are the same the world over. A story of love so deep, and regret. It will haunt you.
Fantastic story
A captivating tale of guilt and redemption. Incredibly well written.
