Ibrahim Hashim himo81 — Great finish to lucid and engrossing tale of Arthur.

Nadezda Korobkova nadya_ko3bd2 — ** spoiler alert ** So, I really like Husseini's writing style. . .the book was an easy and fairly quick read, although some parts were really difficult to swallow. There were just so many awful things that happen to Hassan and his father. . . and Amir for that matter, that you had to wonder if people really suck that much. If they do, I hope that none of us ever have to encounter that kind of evil in our lives. The most frustrating thing about the story for me, which I've been told is completely in my head and probably a result of my own biases - is that it seemed to me that every single Sunni character in this book was fatally flawed with bad character, immorality or indifference. They were secular, self-righteous and without any real redeeming qualities. Only when finally forced into making the "right" decision did they step up. Meanwhile, Hassan and his father and the other Hazarah Shia'a characters were pious, loving, devoted and loyal, but perpetually victimized. It was awful to see what they had to live with on a day to day basis and the tests they were put to - and never wavering in morality. I dunno. . .I guess just wish the two groups weren't portrayed in such a polarized light. . .as a practicing Sunni Muslim, with many Shia'a friends, I can't begin to comprehend the actions that the Sunni characters in the book performed. The irony is that I think Husseini wrote this as a semi-autobiographical piece. . .which means that his experiences would have mirrored Amir's. . .and that probably means that he was surrounded by people capable of these actions. If this was a reader's first exposure to Islam they would also sympathize completely with the Hazarah group and assume that all Sunni Muslims behaved in the way the people in this book did. The reality is that there are good and bad, pious and secular folks in both groups. . .just like with any faith or culture. I'm sure that was true in Afghanistan during the 60s-80s as well. . but you wouldn't know it from reading this book. Other than that, I finished the book pretty fast and enjoyed being swept up into the story. My Afghan Shia'a room-mate is starting it now so i'm really curious to see what she thinks when she's done...

Vincent Rodriguez rodriguezvincent — Excellent! Great detail on Ethiopian culture, history and early "primitive" surgical procedures. Was sad when it ended.
