Negative Positive
Title: best seller?
Review: Okay, spoiler here. go away if you don't want to know what happens.I liked most of the book, I didn't know much about Afghanistan, so it helped me know something . BUT, as an adoptive parent of a child from central Asia, I nearly had a breakdown when he had to tell the boy he must go back to the orphanage. I had to stop reading and find a summary online about what happened next. okay, the boy attempts suicide, I nearly threw up on my computer.I could write the sequel to this. Poorly adjusted, sexually abused child, getting no psychological help from anyone, either DOES kill himself quickly, or slowly through drugs and alcohol. He would probably be put on many different mind-altering drugs until zombied out. He is committed to a psych hospital.I am not entertained by this plot device. Don't really see why it is a best seller. I won't read any more of his books.
