Just like the Kite Runner.
Nothing impressive here.
The Kite Runner was interesting because it was the first thing I read about Afghanistan, not because of the plot or characters.
Hosseini's books so far have very good beginnings, but pretty lame developments from there on.
Everything is so predictable and I knew how things would turn out chapters before.
But I tried to think and picture what's in Afghanistan again. Trying to think too much on this book was a mistake. I should have read it as an entertainment read - as if I were reading a fantasy novel.
But sometimes, it's not about the book. It also becomes a matter of how the book came by you.
No more unread among the books I got by January 2008.
