I read the book, and just saw the film. Not bad, it's pretty interesting. The book does a great job of explaining the convoluted social and political dynamics of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and a little of the history (spoiler: it's all the British's fault).

Interesting fact: Afghans are massively inbred, it seems they prize cousins marrying each other greatly. This probably explains a lot.

Fantastic. Dueling tambar's.

Muslims do not like dogs, they consider them evil/unclean. The author found herself frequently being called a "dog washer" as an insult.

They do not truly understand what man's best friend is. Then again, it might have to do with the inbreeding.

The movie is equally as good, expect it to be more entertaining and less educational. It starts off excellently, tries to squeeze in a rom-com, but still pulls off a good movie. It has a really terrific Marine raid on a Taliban stronghold, enjoyed that part. Not enough drone strikes but still, I give it 4 of 5 donkeys.

Wonder what they think of donkeys.
