The way Khaled hosseini build a character in a complex circumstance was something else. Hassan character was too innocent so as Sohrab. Although i was not able to find some great qoutes. Story was awesome. I didn't find it fictional work it looks like a real one. Anyhow it was awesome. Love it

The story is skilfully crafted, it covers a large period of time and hits you at every turn. Rolling through the loss of innocence, the full spectrum of emotion guilt, loss and everything else. It covers the conflict in Afghanistan from the eyes of one of its people.
