This book is beautiful. I had to read it for school but I really loved it. It is absolutely heartbreaking especially with everything that is going on with Afghanistan currently it is difficult to read at parts. My main critique is just how unlikable Amir is, he is an unreliable narrator throughout and has very few if any redeeming qualities. However this is truly brilliant and everyone should read it.
