So I have finished the book. Sohrab survived his accident. When he was fully recovered he left Afghanistan heading to America. I found the end clever, better then expected. It’s clever how at the end Amir is teaching Sohrab how to fly a kite. The author writes that part so similar to when Hassan and Amir were kids in that Afghanistan kite flying tournament. Making it seem like the character flipped. Amir was Hassan and Sohrab was Amir. This book wasn’t what I thought it would be. I must say it she is not my favorite. Hopefully the second book A Thousand Splendid Suns doesn’t disappoint.
