I honestly didn't like this book, It has a shock value moment, but it's gets pretty nonsensical and becomes a an action movie out of nowhere.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 00:02:31 2021 No.18120070 >>18119808 Lol I love how this guy went out of his way to make the villain blond haired and blue eyed, even though it’s set in the middle east.

>>18120175
the scene where she gets married by the old guy and her new husband takes her virginity, made me realize it was the first time I saw an ugly bastard scene

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 00:34:55 2021 No.18120188 >>18119808 it's just pulp set in afghanistan really. not bad, but not literature.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 00:35:09 2021 No.18120189 >>18120070 There are a ton of blue eyed, blonde rape babies in Afghanistan courtesy of the Russians

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 00:41:07 2021 No.18120211 >>18120189 In the book the guy is half German half Afghani. I think he praises Hitler at some point too.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 07:00:20 2021 No.18121621 >>18120211 He does and it’s great.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 07:25:14 2021 No.18121695 >>18120189 >blonde rape babies in Afghanistan No, there were many many blonde and blue/green eyed people in Afghanistan/Pakistan before russian came.

I thought it was really cringe that the villain is a literal nazi. And everything that happens in the book is way too dramatic and based on chance. How big is the chance that some beggar on the streets used to be a professor who knows exactly who your mom is?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 11:05:44 2021 No.18122796 >>18120189 where do retards like you get your info? blondism and light eyes are historically well attested in that region before any russians went there. also, the first part of the book is set before the soviet invasion.
