laelia's review against another edition
2.0
1. I really liked the descriptions in the second half of the book.
2. I didn't like the protagonist at all. Which is why I couldn't love this book.
This book is great in the way it addresses this difficult situation from the pov of someone who grew up in Afghanistan. But other than that, I didn't like the protagonist's story. I have some issues with it, which made it really difficult for me to decide if I liked this book or not.
A lot of things and ideas in this book are also very outdated. A product of its time, as they say. Does it excuse it though? I don't know. I just know that I am not comfortable with this, so for me it was not the best reading experience.
