Trigger Warnings for this book! This book granted is well written and informative of a horrific period of relatively recent history. But it is harrowing.... I mean just look at the trigger warnings already put in by the reviews. This book is dark and darker. Partly the gut-wrenchingly horrible part of it is that you can see this is based in truth and these things happened to many people and are still happening around the world. I had to finish it to find out what happened and read it in 4hrs straight, but my mind is still troubled and will be for a while I think.

I don't know what to say. This had to have been one of the best books I have ever read. It's hard to find the right words to describe what this book made me feel. It is a powerful story about friendship, family and war. Besides the impactful story of Amir and Hassan it tells us the story of an Afghanistan which seems so sincere and real that it's hard to grasp what has happened to it. In my opinion Khaled Hosseini does a masterful job at showing a nation which has only ever been seen from a Western point of view.

One of the most eye-opening books I’ve ever read. Virtually every character in this book now holds a special place in my heart, and I wish I could’ve read this sooner!
