Title: Heartbreaking Work
Review: The emotions are so deep and raw, I can't really go into it. This book is filled with such unspeakable sadness. Amir's guilt turned me into an insomniac...I was Amir. I felt all the pain and betrayal...I was Hassan. I was destroyed, elated, torn in two by the powerful emotions in this book.This book touched me even more deeply than "A Fine Balance", one of my favorites. I don't know if the comparison to Ha Jin's "Waiting" is as accurate....although the prose is spare in both, I don't know if the same depth of emotion is conveyed.Highly recommended. Swear off all heavy books and literature afterwards...after your soul has been pierced like this, you won't feel a thing. I suggest going to some light reading or nonfiction. Hell knows I needed to.
