First of all, having read Sargent's previous two books, and having been in touch with this author, has made this book a very enjoyable reading experience. This book was the third in the series of books with familiar characters such as Gonz, Heisman, Peterson, and McKay. This book however focused a lot on the roles of women in Afghanistan. I think Sargent portrayed these women, Farishta in particular (the main female character), quite realistically. He provided her with a role, uncommon to women in Afghanistan, but realistic nonetheless.I enjoyed this story a lot though because of the character Jamaal. You fall in love with this teenage boy. The way Sargent describes him is exactly the way a teenager would behave. He is very endearing, and makes the story.The plot was as engaging as his other books, and you will on the edge of your seat until the very end.Be prepared to feel a myriad of emotions when reading this book, from anger, to joy, to sadness.You know you have found a stellar author when they can make you feel all of these emotions when reading their books.HIGHLY recommended author. You won't be disappointed.
