How can I come back from that? That was incredible. A story across time, of Amir and Hassan and how they are bound together, of secrets and struggle. I was so engrossed with this story, I felt so much. I knew people said it was good, but hadn't heard much about it specifically. But now I totally understand why that's the case. This book will follow me, it is so well written, it was everything. 
And the coming full circle at the end, but also life goes on. I like how they acknowledged Sohrab's trauma, in that recovery is long and its not like everything is magically fixed once he got to America.
