review 1: So far I dislike and like the book at the same time. At first I felt like the book created unnecessary drama like when Fawad and Jahid are trying to figure out who Haji really is but then later on in the book you realize why they tried to find out his true identity. What I liked about the book was how Georgie, James and May all accepted Fawad and his mother into their home and treated them like family. I thought they might have just treated them like servants because Fawads mother was now working for them, but they treated them very well. For example, on page 88 when Fawads mother was being driven to the hospital with a deadly disease, May and Georgie promised to look out for Fawad and even "...keep an eye on James and ban him from the house if need be." I really liked the... more ownership May and Georgie took upon Fawad. I would recommend this book to others if they enjoy mystery because this book has a few secrets that come out of nowhere and surprise you, such as Haji actually being a drug dealer. Once you get into the book, it is very hard to put it down.
review 2: I knew I was going to love this book, but not this much.I love the characters SO MUCH: Fawad, Georgie, Spandi, James, Pir Hederi. And I love how much this book made me laugh, of course I cried a little but it has such a great sense of humour.Georgie and Fawad's relationship is precious. I love how the author can bring up so well the personality of an eleven-year-old boy who has seen too much for his age. Fawad is an awesome main character.I really enjoyed the fact that we could see so well the contrast between both cultures; and as the author said, we got to see that other side of the life in Afghanistan.For me, it's million stars, it was an amazing book.PS: GEORGIE, OMG JUST GEORGIE. less
