End of Novel

After finishing reading the book Come Back to Afghanistan I found that the views that I wrote about previously really have not changed. In general when I was reading the novel I did not particularly care for it. There are many insignificant details that have nothing to do with the study. In fact, there really is no story. There is no build up of anticipation, no climax. His entire story is almost copied off his audio recordings he made while he was there. Then he managed to put every single one into this book. And many of them have nothing to do with anything. For example in one part of the novel he wandered off when he was talking about government and started talking about cats. These little stories are what made me dislike the book. Also there was really no story. It would be like me writing a story about my summer when I went to the East Coast. There is no story. I just say what I did and that’s the end of it. This is almost what he did. Yes I will admit that his story is much more significant. This is the only reason that I am glad that I read this book. The general idea that the book is getting at is important. And when reading this book I feel like I get a secret insight into the minds of the government of Afghanistan. We are reading about something that is so important to the country of Afghanistan. And lastly the most significant thing I got out of this book is what the lives of many Afghans is like. We live in America typing on our laptops, spending thousands of dollars each year for an education when people in Afghanistan are starving. They live in tiny cramped villages with the fear of bombs falling on their heads every night. They live in fear of dying everyday. They live in fear of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. When I think of this I think of how fortunate I am. And this is the most significant thing I got out of this book. I just feel that this book is not presented the way it could be. It has so much good information in it. I just think that this book would have so much potential if it would just learn how it organize the facts and get rid of the unnecessary details.
