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.
