I just finished this book and really liked it. It was hard to put down. I wanted to finish it before the movie came out. It was a story of a boy growing up in Afghanistan and how his life changes when his country gets invaded. It follows him for 20 years and portrays the "baggage" he carries around his whole life because of guilt, and not being able to forgive himself. Very good story of true friendship, loyalty, and forgiveness.
