I have had 2 books by this author on my shelf for a while and so many people have told me I needed to read his books immediately but I kept putting them off. I am now kicking myself for waiting so long to pick this up because it was amazing. That seems wrong to say especially considering the subject matter. I started this early one morning and ended up finishing it the same day because I couldn't put it down. It also helped that I was listening to the audiobook of it so I could get through it quicker. This book was brutally honest and heart wrenching. Some characters were likable and some definitely weren't. I didn't care much for Amir to begin with but he redeemed himself in the end. I loved Hassan and my heart broke for him. I can't say everything I want to say because of spoilers so I will just end it with the one word I said right after finishing the book and that was WOW!!!
