What a huge disappointment and a sad follow up to the magnificent Kite Runner. This book is totally made up of cliches and plot turns from the worst soap operas. Why oh why? Very little can be saved, but IMHO the book clings to two stars because I learned more about Afghan history and women conditions. It is too bad that these important aspects are packaged into this weak and trivial novel.
