4.5

Dieses Buch ist wirklich schwer zu lesen und doch sehr wichtig. Es beschreibt die Vergangenheit Afghanistans aus der Perspektive eines Jungen, wird aber von ihm als Erwachsener erzählt. Das erklärt auch das foreshadowing Bzw. die vorausschauenden Kommentare, die den Leser/ die Leserin oft vorahnen lassen, dass die Geschichte keinen gute Lauf nimmt.
