I found the story of Amir and his history with his servant/friend Hassan to be surprisingly engaging. Hosseini weaves the history of turmoil in Afghanistan from 1964 to 2002 with the story of a young . . .

I listened to this on CD over the last week. It's hard to say whether the writing is melodramatic, or if that's the reader's style. Even so, it was an intriguing listen. I think Catherine . . .
