Do not be taken in by the title. This book focuses more on the life of the every day Afghani and the political backdrop in which they live in, rather than the individual story of the Bookseller of Kabul. A narrative style has been adopted but I can't say that it works very well for the book as the stories feel very stop and start at times. Although the politics of Afghanistan kept me engaged enough, it felt very surface level and didn't feel enlightened at all by the end of it. Perhaps this book may work for persons who are have no prior knowledge of the country and its history, but probably doesn't apply to many post 9/11 and it becoming thrust in the forefront of everyone's conscientiousness ever since.
