At first I thought this book was going to be very difficult to read. I struggled with some of the beginning chapters but I as I got into the book the easier it became to read. I think this book offered insight to some things that we haven't really looked at before. There were a few things that really stood out in my mind, which continued on things that we have already talked about. First was the relationship with the family. The narrator talks a lot about what it is like to be from his village. There are still some many cultural values that we have no idea about. The second thing that we have covered is women’s rights there are a few insights about how women are treated in his home village. In the first part of the book there is a scene that really stood out in my mind was when the mentally challenged boy was shot. In the last section we covered I focused a lot on the language barrier. This segment is a perfect example of how much trouble language does cause and how many mistakes it causes.
I found this book to almost be troubling or disturbing. The author of the novel did to a great job in giving an inside look to what a terrorist feels. To me that is kind of scary. I am very interested in what drives terrorists to do what they do. For me this book took it one step further. Dreams played a big role in this book as well as spirits. It was interesting to see how that concept carried over from the other books that we have read.
