I was told to read this book from many different sources. I had no interest in reading about two boys growing up in the Middle East. I picked up the book, and couldn't put it down. I've never seen the movie as I don't want to spoil my mental image of this wonderful story. A must read for all.
i really enjoyed this book....most of it. i began my read and raved about it to anyone who would listen, as luck would have it my mom and i began reading it at the same time, so i had a full-fledged chat buddy. as the story progressed however characters appeared and disappeared for no apparent reason, and then the ending came with a thud. (mom agreed) so read 3/4 of the book, and then put it down for something else.
