So okay, loved the first part of the book, but thought that once Amir returned to Afghantistan things got a little farfetched and news-at-elevenish. That's not to say I was truly disappointed, because the book had already built up enough goodwill to get me through the end. But still, the book felt divided into two unequal parts.
Also, I felt that Amir's transition from the pretty nasty boy he was to the adult who atoned for his childhood sins wasn't explored enough. Was it guilt that changed him? His emigration? Learning about Hassan, seeing Sohrab? I'm not sure I really get that, and I can speculate, of course, but it doesn't fit together quite right for me.
