I didn’t particularly like the writing (although it was beautiful) and the story itself, which was very hard to read. The characters were so lovable and it was really sad to read every hard and terrible thing they suffered. It’s a book that I’ll probably remember forever, even if it’s not the most fun or beautiful book I’ve read, because it made me think and it affected me so much.

i'm impressed by his writing style as always. and the plot—to begin with—is easy to follow yet so intriguing. let alone the two main characters which was portrayed as a vulnerable and strong at the same time. i'm truly under Khaled Hosseini's writing style!
