It's been a long time since I've read a book and cried ,quiet tears of profound sadness ,yet hopeful that the human spirit that embodies kindness and goodness and resilience would prevail.This story was beautifully written ,it offered insight and perspective of the experience of the Afghanistan people previously unknown to me. I highly recommend this book . Thanks to the author for sharing .

The best book I have ever read. I'm going to be honest, the idea of reading this book didn't excite me all that much. As an assignment for my AP English class, I expected it to be another boring high school book, of which I have read many, only to be quickly forgotten. But after just a few chapters, this book had sucked me in, hooked me pretty deep, and I suddenly felt connected to the people in the story. I would literally have to force myself to take a break, or I probably would have read the whole thing in one night. One word of caution, though: this book is very intense and graphic at times. I feel that it adds to the realism and makes the book that much more haunting, but I'm just throwing it out there for anyone who has trouble with such intense moments. Definitely not a book for children. But again, I have never been so moved by a book. By far my favorite of all time. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a movie, even, that has matched the power of this book. Definitely a worthy read.
