I am blown away and completely speechless by the raw and honest way Hoeseini has written this book. I wouldn't believe it for a second if he himself told me that this was his first novel. He was born to write this story.
Although, fiction, it's as true and real as the history that was alive in those pages. I will forever look at Afghanastan in a whole different light.
