Title: Are You Kidding???
Review: If this book is what this country thinks of as brilliant literature then I'd say our standards have sunk to a new low. There were times while reading the book when I had great hopes for Hosseini's writing. He does have a knack for describing places and creating an atmosphere. However, his dialogue, his plot and most of his characters are juvenile and derivative to say the least. His "bad guy" is one of the most ridiculous creations I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. No wonder Hollywood can't wait to make this novel into a movie, it reads like a bad script masquerading as "art". Believe me, If Hosseini didn't have the "cred" because he's from Afghanistan, this book would never, ever be the subject of so much fawning and hype. I was sorely, sorely disappointed because I came to it with high hopes. *Sigh*.
