Title: Too fabricated
Review: Hosseini lost me when he had Amir go to a soccer game in Kabul while searching for his half nephew. This is supposed to be believable? It's obvious that he feels we don't know anything about the Taliban and he had to somehow work it into this book. I HATED the character Amir from the moment he left Hassam in that alley. To me this is more a pulp fiction novel than a story of redemption. The hokey ending was very difficult to swallow. I expected this novel to go someplace and it didn't. If you want to read a GOOD novel about the Taliban, Kabul and the cruelty of the men in that part of the world - I recommend you read BOOKSELLER OF KABUL.
