I loved this book. The author really makes you hate the main character but in the end he redeems himself. I found this story fascinating. The author does a great job of portraying Afghanistan and the struggles that occurred there. The book mainly focuses on the life of two small boys who grow up in the same household as best friends but there is a lot going on between the relationship between the boys and their fathers. The mothers are both out of the picture. This books deals with the themes of jealousy and betrayal. A great read!
