Rezension von Leandra Marie GehrmannHat mich ehrlich bissi traumatisiert aber auch wichtig zu lesen!
Rezension von jujdefinitely a very moving, often heartbreaking, somtimes genuinely shocking and gut-wrenching story (though i fear a good part of it is more truth than fiction). but especially the characters — first and foremost amir and hassan of course, but the others as well — grew on me quite a bit <3 also i cannot put into words how grateful i am for the insight and awareness i gained.
Rezension von Nene"There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood" Another Khaled Hosseini book. His books arw truly impressive, beautiful and heartbreaking. I will forever love the fact, that he uses his books to not only create art, but to also educate people about his country. Afghanistan is truly suffering. I've learned so much about it's history only through his book. He's truly great. 1981 Amir fled Afghanistan with his father, because of the invasion of the soviet union. Fleeing Afghanistan he left a big secret there. A secret so big he couldn't tell anybody. He lived with that guilt, until in 2001 that secret calls him back to where he left it. This book was absolutely heartbreaking yet beautiful. Such a good story about friendship, brotherhood, family, war, secret and redemption. So beautiful. The book made me laugh, cry, fear, happy, angry and sad. It was a real roller-coaster ride. This book really let me back in it's element no matter how long I didn't read it. Every time I picked it up and read it again I was lead back into that element. Amir and Hassan. Hassan and Amir. The sultans of Kabul. What a brotherhood. My heart truly goes out to every child, that is living in Afghanistan. Every mother, who is loosing her children one after one because of famine, poverty and war. Every father, who has to leave his family just to be met with death after. Every child that is loosing it's childhood, because of other people's reckless decisions. Every Human that is getting stoned, r*ped, abused all in the name of Islam. May God truly be with them and redeem them all of judgment day.
