Re-read, but still just as stunning as the first time I read it. A forever favorite

[3.5 stars]

I finished reading this in two days because I just couldn't put it down.

It tells the story of a rich Afghan boy and his servant, and how a tragedy broke them apart.

It was a heartbreaking story, and I'm surprised it didn't make me cry. I guess tragedy after tragedy, you just expect the worst, and get numb after a while.

The ending was predictable.

I really liked getting to know a little about the history of Afghanistan and their culture before the Taliban.
