truly the best book i've ever read for high school. a harrowing, emotional tale, one the reader will likely remember years later. a great book for expanding one's narrow western worldview. 10/10.

Wow, I was left in a haze the day I finished this book. It's fantastic; I think everyone needs to read it.

I wouldn't have read this if it hadn't been a school assighnment, possibly the best book I've ever read.

So beautiful, so real, so haunting and just so raw. I can’t recommend this enough. It’s heavy but a story worth reading.

buku yang selalu menguras emosi setiap baca per-chapter-nya. aku benci sama amir dan semua perlakuan jahatnya ke hassan, tau dia cm anak-anak yg masih berumur 13 tahun waktu itu tapi diumur segitu seharusnya dia tau mana baik dan benarnya, dia kelewatan pengecut dan gak tau tanda terima kasih. hassan did a lot of things only for amir, dia berkali-kali berkoban untuk dia. but amir, sedikit pun gak pernah berpikir untuk melakukan hal yang sama karena perbedaan status mereka dan turns out, hassan itu adik tirinya.

aku masih merasa belum puas karena amir belum ketemu hassan sebelum hassan meninggal, amir belum minta maaf secara langsung ke hassan sebelum hassan meninggal even tho i know hassan tetap akan selalu memaafkan amir. Hes a pure angel, benar-benar dunia pun gak deserve atas kehadiran dia, he deserves more than anything. tapi aku ingat, baba amir yang selalu menembus kesalahannya dengan melampiskannya untuk berbuat kebaikan, amir punya caranya sendiri. dia punya caranya sendiri untuk berkoban demi hassan

setiap permasalahan dan rintangan yang amir lewati setiap babnya, mungkin itu bisa jadi adalah pelajaran tersendiri untuk amir. hukuman untuknya atas perbuatannya dulu. amir mendapatkan pengampunannya bukan dari kesadaran, melainkan kesedihan yang bergiliran muncul, berkumpul, lalu menyelinap pergi begitu saja.

untukmu, keseribu kalinya
