An Interesting glimpse into one man’s story related to Afghanistan. A difficult read with the amount of violence and heartbreak, but I understand why many people enjoyed the book overall.

This book was only okay. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and I can't really explain why, but I just didn't like it that much. Khaled Hosseini's second book, [b:A Thousand Splendid Suns|128029|A Thousand Splendid Suns|Khaled Hosseini|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1345958969s/128029.jpg|3271379] was really good and he is a good writer but this story just wasn't for me.

Its a beautiful, sad and tragic story. I did enjoy it but I did feel like it dragged towards the end and the author was going for as much tragedy as possible.
