Helpful Score: 5
I don't know. While I do think this is a good book and I would jump at recommending it to others, I just felt like it was missing something. Hosseini has a way of describing the landscape and political atmosphere that is absolutely spell binding. I loved the way he wrote from the woman's point of view. That brought the story closer to me.
However, nothing seemed to happen. Let me rephrase that, nothing surprising happened. A lot of the plot was quite predictable. Unlike The Kite Runner, there was no scene that truly defined this book. It was interesting, but a little hodge podged.
At the military bases in Afghanistan, they keep multiple copies of The Kite Runner on hand for the new guys. It is used to make them acquainted with their new surrounding. I just can't see this book being quite so helpful, let alone appealing to military guys. I almost got my nonreader DH to read The Kite Runner. He has no interest in this one.
