I think I can officially say this is the best book I have ever read. Obviously I like different books for different reasons, but I have never been so moved when reading before. This book transported me and transformed me (I know that's cheesy but after reading this I don't have the capacity to care about being cheesy). You will definitely cry. The characters feel so real and vivid from the first description of them. Amir is such a fascinating protagonist. I LOVE HASSAN was the main sentence I said whilst reading this book. I will always love Hassan! The writing is immaculate. The world Hosseini creates is so immersive. Definitely a challenging book to read. I remember I tried to read it about 3 years ago and couldn't get past a certain scene (anyone who has read it will know what I am talking about.) I am so glad I came back to the book when I was ready though as it is truly exceptional.
