Title: Amir is shallow and arrogant and unlikeable
Review: I was looking forward to this book and chose it for my book club, but am very disappointed in the book. I really disliked the main character and narrator, named Amir. And he is there from the beginning to the end, you get no relief. What an unlikeable, shallow, arrogant, superficial, childish NOTHING who caused everyone pain. I thought he might show some redeeming quality, but no, he was pathetic to the very end. We only know the other characters through the eyes of this awful man, so therefore the other characters are not well developed.I did like that it showed some about Afghanistan, the scenery, customs, food, language. Poor Afghanistan - my heart goes out to the people there.
