This book is beautiful. I had to read it for school but I really loved it. It is absolutely heartbreaking especially with everything that is going on with Afghanistan currently it is difficult to read at parts. My main critique is just how unlikable Amir is, he is an unreliable narrator throughout and has very few if any redeeming qualities. However this is truly brilliant and everyone should read it.

It was okay but I wouldn't read it again. There was a lot going on and it either went by quickly or slowly.

I personally loved this book. It is definitely not a lighthearted, feel good book. This will very easily bring you to tears. I cried and I don't often cry at books. It was an honest and tragic look at the situation in Afghanistan that brought such an overlooked culture to light.
