It's a great, fascinating story, worth reading..
I hated the way how Shahaab's family treated him, and how they kept underestimating him.
And part of me was happy that Shahaab kept calling Nasser (Arash's father) because Nasser deserve it due to his bad attitude towards him.

I learned from this story two important lessons:
1. It only needs one person to truly believe in someone, to change his/her life forever. As what Bibi did with Shahaab; she believed and accepted him the way he was from the beginning, which had a marvelous effect on him.

2. Children do understand. And they need our love and attention more than anything. The amount of emotional neglicace in the story is unbearable. Me as a reader hated Shahaab father how was it like for Shahaab himself?
There isn't a thing know as enough attention! Children are humans too, they need more attention than anything else. We won't spoil them with our love and attention, but we will hurt them forever by our negligence. Furthermore, parents love should be UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. They have to stop loving their children just because they are smart, nice, obedient. They have to accept them the way they are.
There is no point telling a child how much money we have spent on them, or how much work we do to provide a good living condition if we haven't told them how much we love them and care about them.

"Unele lucruri nu apar scrise în cărţi şi în caiete, iubirea e o poveste scrisă în inimile oamenilor. Nu‑ţi trebuie şcoală ca s‑o citeşti."

Belangrijk thema, belangrijk verhaal. Ik vond het alleen qua schrijfstijl wat minder. Las dat het is vertaald van het Perzisch, naar Engels, naar het Nederlands en denk dat ergens onderweg de rijkdom qua taal wat is weggesijpeld. Vond ook de karakters een beetje gemaakt. Las wel snel weg.

Am învățat foarte mult despre ce înseamnă o familie din genul ăsta de cărți. Nu pot să exprim cât de zdrobitoare e, cum efectul de evantai, te face să plonjezi pe burtă, să te izbești cu spatele de un zid al realizării neputinței umane. E o întreagă caravană a emoției.

E un roman în care personajul principal își scrie în gînduri autobiografia pînă la 20 de ani (cu accent pe vîrsta de 4-5 ani)
Totuși într-un mod destul de brutal aș zice și neverosimil de parcă autoarea uită că e un copil și îi atribuie chiar și gînduri de a ucide (repet, la 5 ani).

Părerea mea e că bunica Bibi salvează aceasta carte de la eșec.

Această bunică vine ca un înger, ca o rudă pe care cred că ne-am dori-o cu toții. Ea este cea care vede prin ceața care înconjoară această familie și spune lucrurilor pe nume. Ea este cea care găsește motivul lipsurilor și a întîmplărilor absurde care urmăresc familia zi de zi. Aș recomanda cartea doar datorită acestui personaj (prezent în maxim 50 de pag.) care ne pune serios inima într-o menghină de sentimente printr-un citat pe cît de simplu pe atît de profund (citat pe care l-am citit în mai toate comentariile):
"-Crede-mă mamă, am citit atîtea cărți, fără nici un folos. Orice metodă am încercat, n-a avut niciun rezultat.
-Noi ăștia mai bătrîni, deși n-avem atîta carte ca voi, ne-am descurcat mai bine cu copii. Știi de fapt ce e? Unele lucruri nu apar scrise în cărți și în caiete, iubirea e o poveste scrisă în inimile oamenilor. Nu-ți trebuie școală ca s-o citești."

Avem nevoie de mai multe bunici Bibi.

This book was terrible on each and every single level, I cannot believe that it was written by the same author as that of The Book of Fate. My only guess is that its true depth was lost in translation. The sentences were short and mostly awkward, the characters were not well-composed, and the dialogues and plot were hurtful to read. I’d recommend it to absolutely no one.
