So, this is the first book that I've read from Khaled Hosseini and I absolutely love it. I don't usually adore books that have multiple POV since they tend to get messy and unorganized but ATME is an exception.



The only criticism that I have are the unnecessary POV chapters of the side characters such as Pawarna, the doctor from Tinos, Idris and Adel ( that's basically half of the chapters of the book lmao ). The reason why I said side characters and not other main characters because Abdullah is the only main character for me.



During the time that I was reading this book, I thought that Khaled could have made multiple Abdullah POV's chapter instead of some other characters that I do not need to know about. I want to know more about Abdullah's life like how he's dealing with the effect of losing the one that he loves the most as he grows and how he met his wife and also, the process of his movement to U.S but i didn't get that because there were so many side characters that Khaled wants to write a chapter about... So, that kinda sucks :/



But it's fine because of Khaled Hosseini writing style :) His writing is so rich with beautiful description that I can't tear my eyes away from the book! Yes, you guess it! I'm a sucker for a good writing style!!!



Also, believe it or not, I want Saboor ( Abdullah's father ) POV's chapter. Yeah, I know, it's confusing since I don't want “unnecessary characters POV chapters” but I think it will be interesting to see how he cope with his obviously terrible but necessary action of giving the most precious person to him to someone else and how that specific event plays a role in making him and Abdullah even further away drifting from each other than before. You should have seen me waiting eagerly for Saboor POV's chapter because in my mind, I was like if there's Pawarna POV's chapter then where Saboor's?



Clearly, I want to see a father and a son struggling with the loss of losing the only person that makes them both truly happy but, alas, that didn't happen :')



So, based on the reviews that I've read, a lot of people said that The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns are way better so if you want to start reading Khaled Hosseini books, I recommend you to read this book first so that you can enjoy the magical experience of reading this book without comparing it to the other two. But if multiple POV books are not your thing, then please try to read The Kite Runner or A Thousand Splendid Suns because I guarantee you that you don't want to miss out on reading this author amazing writing style.



Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day that's filled with good books to read and please, spread ☮ and not hate ♡
