This is one of my favorite novels.  Not only has it opened my eyes to the history of other cultures, but I thouroughly enjoyed what it taught about friendship and compassion.  Amir's tale takes the reader on an emotional journey that covers almost a lifetime; including a dark and embarassing past, the struggle of moving to a new country and the lessons learned while opening new chapters in life.  It is truly an inspirational novel.                                                                                                  - Reviewed by Katherine
