Title: Staggeringly obvious and trite.
Review: I heard so much about this book that maybe I expected too much. There are no likeable charachters, and the ones that are supposed to be likeable come off as oddly Christlike and unreal.The plot twists are obvious and expected-- totally forced. Actually, for a book this long, there isn't really that much of a plot. The writing is good, although not particularly lyrical or creative.Without revealing too much, I would agree with the reviewer who mentioned that this has all the markings of a Hallmark movie. It really seems contsructed that way. As well, Afganistan is not vividly portrayed enough, IMHO, and if this book were set somewhere else with the same level of writing I don't think it would have achieved the same level of acclaim.If you are interested in Afganistan do yourself a favor and read some non-fiction-- this book really wasn't "it", and it was WAY too manipulative.Rachel
