I learned a great deal about Afgan culture, I previously had almost zero knowledge about the political history and customs of the people. You can also see the hatred and bias people carry for people they deem as different.
This was also a story about love, loyalty and courage, teaching the lesson that you can always change your path and that nothing is set in stone. You can take the parts of people who you look up to and immerse their ideals in your own self portrait.

The writing was so good, the characters were amazing, and the historical part of the book was facinating. The story was just as sad as everyone says it is. A few chapters in particular were hitting me very hard --- expect to cry while reading this.
Fair warning: there is quite a bit of cursing, some intense violence, and very difficult topics are dealt with.
