kutreen's review against another edition

dark informative reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

This book is very informative about what Afghanistan was like in the months after 9/11, including the political turmoil and how individuals (men and women) felt. It taught me a lot and made me really grateful for my life in the US and made me decide I need to help the Afghan people somehow, and continue to learn about struggling people and countries in other parts of the world. This is the saddest book I've ever read. It took me a month to read whereas before that I was reading a book a week. Don't read if you're already depressed.
