2.0

I was prejudiced against this book, that's why I picked it up much later. I couldn't ignore how the book was timed very well, turning it into a bestseller. It justified the war in Afghanistan for many readers; I personally think that's not what literature is here to do.

I read it hoping to be pleasantly surprised (and to be proved wrong), but I wasn't. What did the book do for me? Nothing, only reminded me of a typical Bollywood movie! It had all the twists and turns and drama of one.
