Love this book! It was an interesting and in depth look into the characters. I found them realistic because of their faults and I found myself asking questions and getting really into the story.

Meravellós, no hi ha cap paraula que descrigui millor aquesta novel·la.
Temia molt pel final, em feia por que tant de patiment no hagués servit per res (el patiment dels personatges, vull dir), però sento que Hosseini ha sabut trobar rajos d'esperança dins la dura realitat.
L'única cosa "negativa" que puc dir és que m'hauria agradat veure com es va viure la invasió soviètica, només se'ns donen dades històriques i basant per sobre.
Tot i això, diria que, després de meravellosa, el millor adjectiu per descriure aquesta novel·la és "necessària".
