I hate reading a book where the characters have to over come obstacles over obstacles before they get to the main point, especially when there is so much suspense. Ironically Soharab was being held a prisoner with the same guy that raped his father, Assef. So you can only imagine what Shoran is being put through. Assef was still the same heartless person as he was when he was a kid. I just don’t understand how people can really be that way. The only way he allows Amir to leave there with frighten Shoran was if Amir beat him in a death match. The term coward no longer is a word that I use to describe him, because he accepted the match even though Assef had brace knuckles and figured he’d lose. Thanks to Shoran no one died. Shoran saved Amir from a for sure death. With a sling shot Shoran shot out Assef’s eye. Never disappointing just like his father, Hassan.
It’s estimated that the total population of Afghanistan is about 28,150,000. In 1979, it was 13,051, 358. The only city in Afghanistan with over a million people is its capital, Kabul.
