4.5

Dieses Buch ist wirklich schwer zu lesen und doch sehr wichtig. Es beschreibt die Vergangenheit Afghanistans aus der Perspektive eines Jungen, wird aber von ihm als Erwachsener erzählt. Das erklärt auch das foreshadowing Bzw. die vorausschauenden Kommentare, die den Leser/ die Leserin oft vorahnen lassen, dass die Geschichte keinen gute Lauf nimmt.

badspringbye's review against another edition

emotional informative tense slow-paced

3.0

Very informative but I couldn't be immersed to the plot, though I'm satisfied with the twist and turns at the last quarter of the book. The beginning was packed with burdensomeness I even had to stop after only few chapters but after that it became distant to where we should be focusing: The Kite Runner.

There are a lot of parts that seemed unnecessary to me. I wanted Hassan but I'm reading about Amir's wife that he met in America like what. why.

And I hated the main character till the end, it's disappointing.
