I'm a simple reader. If a book evokes emotion, I probably like it. This wasn't my favorite book ever, but it brought me to tears several different times. Mostly the heartbreaking juxtaposition of the Amir's selfishness with Hassan's selflessness. And also the cruelty of circumstance.

Idk, it's a sad book that provides interesting insight into a country I know very little about. Would recommend.
