What did you think about the book? (2/2)

Turning to lurid descriptions for more compassioned readers, the author demands for an American change, rather than a change in the culture to better fit the inhabitants born to it. Another reason that I frown upon the gruesome lives depicted by the author is because such living conditions can be seen not only in Pakistan, but in any country, both wealthy and poor. Instead of describing lives led by the poor, sexually harassed, and victims of sexism, I believe that the author should have concentrated more on the unique aspect of the Islam world. Even though Hosseini did a brilliant job in portraying his views, I cannot but help wonder if he is not being too biased in presenting his opinions.

This view may cause frustration by many who liked and enjoyed the books. However, I argue that I also liked them and am only criticizing the authors style of writing, rather than the scene itself portrayed by the books. Thank you.


Again, I wish you a great summer vacation.
