I could not put this book down. I read it while I was on vacation in Italy and I would get back to my hotel each night exhausted and then stay up reading this book. The writing is outstanding and transported me to a whole other world.

Absolutely a wonderful book and incredible story. I can't believe it took me so many years to finally read this. I cried. I will buy my own copy and share this with everyone I know.

It’s a good story about redemption. I really like the imagery from Amir’s childhood in Kabul. For me the pace is a bit too fast and the characters feel like they’re always in hurry. Also, the amount of reincorporation is incessant and make the story unbelievable. It’s still a very enjoyable read.
