This book shook me to my core, I went and babbled about it to my friends the minute I finished reading about it. It broke my heart into pieces and then repaired it. It made me see how privileged and lucky I was, and how we tend to forget other's misery. Inshallah, I will read more books from Muslim authors and from war torn countries like Afghanistan which could have been beautiful had it not been for the greed and malice of human beings. It is terrifying how there really are some horrible people like Assef in the world. And how I hated Amir for what he did but maybe who knows, we would have done the same in his place. I love his character development. Hassan is truly too precious and innocent and loyal for this world, I bawled my eyes out at what happened to him. This is an amazingly, deep piece of literature. It is thought-provoking. The plot twist was something else. I love how Amir has his eyes opened and becomes a true Muslim. This was a story of friendship, betrayal, redemption and salvation. It was very knowledgeable too.
I can't wait to read the rest of Khalid Hosseini's works.
