3.0

i liked how loosely this book was written - i enjoyed reading about amir's time in rome and how his friendships with johan & the others developed, even if at some points it got a little messy. part of the story being told by the entire family via airport interviews was also a really creative touch that i feel added to the atmosphere of the story + a reality check into what it's like to be a muslim in this day and age.

5.0

This book's summary makes it sound a little bleak: worried about being outed to his Muslim family, the protagonist runs away to Rome and ends up being detained and questioned by a US Customs officer. But the funny, smart and passionate narration and heartfelt story made it one I didn't want to put down.
