This book made me incredibly emotional. I wish I read it sooner. Really satisfying read, excellent character development, and the writing was beautiful and haunting. I absolutely could not put this book down when I was reading it.

mä en oikeestaan ees tiiä mitä sanoa. Alotin tän kirjan sillä tietämyksellä, että se on surullinen. Turns out parempia sanavalintoja olis ollut vaikka sydäntäriipivä ja sieluamurskaava. Tykkäsin tän kirjotustyylistä ihan huikeasti, ja tykkäsin siitä miten näkökulma vaihtui joskus mutta harvoin. Tuntu että vaikka juoni oli ehkä joissain kohtia rakennettukin hieman sekavaksi se oli kuitenkin ihan kristallinkirkas ja selkeä. Amir oli niin hankala hahmo, ja en vieläkään oikeen tiedä mitä ajatella siitä. Lopussa tuli kans niin paljon juonenkäänteitä että en oo niitä ehtinyt vielä sisäistämään. Tuun ajattelemaan tätä varmaan kuukauden päivät vähintään: tää kirja oli just sellanen ’biography but not really’, ja suosittelisin tätä kyllä kaikille ketä historia yhtään kiinnostaa - ja vaikka ei kiinnostaiskaan, tää olis silti aika hyvä ihan jokaikisen lukea
