It isn't a bad book but it just isn't the type of book for me.

I personally think most realistic fiction books aren't entertaining. Sure a lot are well written I just don't think they are fun to read.

This book was one of them. It isn't a book I would've picked on my own. It was well written though so minus personal preference there is nothing wrong with it.


Also if anyone is like, "Why did they put it wasn't diverse?" A story where most characters are part of the same minority is just as not diverse as one where most characters are not part of a minority.

This novel is driven by the complexities of father-son relationships and seeking forgiveness for wrongs you commit against those closest to you. The secret that Rahim Khan, Baba’s former business partner, reveals to Amir is one that would shake anybody to their core. Although phrases such as the socially legitimate half are harsh and degrading, it provides clarity to the culture and time the novel was set in. Amir’s crusade for forgiveness does at times come off as bing self-centered and savior-complex like. By the end of the novel, he realizes that forgiveness is not always about fanfare.

This book made me incredibly emotional. I wish I read it sooner. Really satisfying read, excellent character development, and the writing was beautiful and haunting. I absolutely could not put this book down when I was reading it.
