The Blind Man’s Garden by Nadeem Aslam
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

i dont like war. a bit depressing for me everytime it gets to Mikal’s experience. but i love everything about Rohan, and even Naheed’s experiences, her determination to move on.

i like that this book shares some hadiths and open about religion (islam and christianity.

i bought this book a long time ago and never got to read it. i liked it but i just dont like the prisoner experiences of mikal. something is missing because it doesnt grip my attention as much as i hoped it would. i skipped some parts but i totally enjoyed rohan’s experiences as a blind man yearning. i could almost picture him in my mind. naheed’s determination is quite admirable. other than that, it’s not a book i am likely to reread and loved as much as i love khaled hosseini’s but i guess it isnt fair to compare the two. they have different ‘voices’.
