New Book: And the Mountains Echoed By Khaled Hosseini

I have been told by my friend Suraj, that this was a good book. When I first heard the title I was like, what in the world, that sounds so lame. But, after I saw that Suraj had made a blog post on it, I knew it was a good book, because you only make posts on good books. So, as I looked at the post, I saw that he had posted a link. I clicked it and it took me to a website where I could read the book. I got it, and here I am, talking about my first impressions of the book.

As I read the first few pages, which was a story in a story. Right away, that got me hooked. The idea of putting a story into a story was really smart and I liked it. The imagery and diction of the first few pages also reeled me in. As I read a bit more, I realized the story reflected the rest of the actual story too. That also made the book that much better.

A few things I didn't like about the book was that there was a lot of emotional engagement, but not enough action. But that's just me. I like books with fast-paced action. Although this book wasn't exactly my kind of book, I have really enjoyed it so far, and I think you should read it too.
