On the one hand, Amir is a fairly static character who is also a little bit of a shithead.
On the other hand, maybe that’s the point.
Aside from my qualms about Amir as a character, I loved this book. The first third wasn’t very engaging, but the rest? I was hooked.
Hosseini paints a picture of Afghanistan like we’ve never seen before, and he deepens the reader’s understanding of the ongoing humanitarian crisis there.
This is a wonderful book, it really is. Heartbreaking and devastating, but wonderful.
