Negative Positive
Title: Cliched and implausible
Review: This book disappointed me beyond belief. It started out good -- maybe a little overblown in how "angelic" the protagonist's childhood friend is -- but that aside, it was OK. The parts set in the US were also OK. But when the story returns to Afghanistan, it ends up being more like an Afghan Rocky story -- so cliched and implausible that I threw the book down in disgust.If this book wasn't about Afghanistan, no one would ever have noticed it, much less published it.
Is the review positive or negative?
