Title: Great Story
Review: This book tells an excellent story and gives a glimpse into the life of a boy growing up in Afghanistan. It provides an insight into the cultural and political situation in Afghanistan starting from the presoviet occupation to the talibans fundamentalist regime.Its an excellent story told through the voice of the main character and how he comes to terms with a mistake he made as a child, a mistake which follows him to adulthood.I would caution the reader in that the story is somewhat disturbing and depressing.The only reason I gave this book four stars as opposed to five is that I dont feel its well written. The writing style of the author is somewhat simplistic and I feel the book lacks somewhere in the area of character development. Other than that I would highly recommend this book for the great story line.
