I . AM. SPELLBOUND.Nothing more to say :) 
 The story is set in Kabul, Afghanistan about two boys, Amir, and his servant's son, Hassan. Hassan has unwavering faith and loyalty towards Amir, and trusts him with his life. When he says 
 "For you, a thousand times over." 
 , he truly means it. Amir, on the other hand has slightly wavering morals which makes him commit an unforgettable mistake. This mistake makes him regret all his life and redemption is only possible when he revisits his old life which he tries hard to forget. The story spans through the 70's upto early 00's , each unfolding a chapter of Amir' s life from his childhood in Afghanistan to his teenage years in America to his adulthood, where he retraces his life back to Afghanistan for redemption. 
 The story is raw and brutal, and none of the horrifying parts are sugarcoated. At the same time, it is sweet and warm. The scenes feel very authentic, as if it is happening in front of your eyes. This book pulls you through tumultuous roller coaster of emotions, just like when you finish reading a book, you feel tears on your cheek and a smile on your face. 
 The characters were portrayed beautifully. Khaled Hosseini effortlessly flows thorough the minds of each character, giving them a distinct feel. Here I am not only mentioning the protagonist, but ALL the characters. Every single one of them. 
 This is one of my must-reads and must-haves. If you haven't read it yet, go pick it up!
