A review by shaynarise
And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
3.0
This was the first book of his that I’ve read and I honestly did not like it. I felt as though 2 stars would’ve been too low seeing as I did appreciate the text and imagery. But, to me, the story fell short.
There were far too many story lines, many of them unimportant in the grand scheme of things. When the minor characters’ stories were finally getting somewhere they were then cut-short.
To me, the main story of the siblings was very touching but overall it seemed very slow and unorganized. This, for me, wasn’t a book I was eager to flip through to read-on. It wasn’t a completely mesmerizing story as I’ve heard the others are.
