It's good. It's something I never want to read again, and it didn't particularly blow my mind, but it's still good.
It was a great book. A sad story, but a good one. I liked his newer book better though. It is called A Thousand Splendid Suns, and it is also set in Afghanistan, but it is about a few amazing women and what live has been like in Afghanistan for women over the past 75 (maybe more or less) years. It is amazing. Read it.
