Chantelle: I don't have all the information re: the bans (dates, etc...). I did a Google Search when I wrote the review, which is how I learned about the banning of the film and controversy in Afghanistan. I would recommend that you do a google search and some research. A good place to start might be here and here.

Hello. I am really curious about the ban on this novel.

I know that the film is banned in Afghanistan but is the novel also banned?
If so when did it get banned and who banned it?

In America, some states have also banned it, Which states have banned it? when did they ban it and why?

Thanks
i hope someone can help.

I didn’t know much about Afghanistan until I read this book. It has opened my eyes more to the cruelty, unjust, immoral, and horrible events going on in that country. Over all it was a good book.
