Kabul Beauty school has a good way of catching the readers interest in the begging because she starts out by telling you a story of rather tragic thing that happens while she is there. I also like that as you read through the book Deborah Rodriguez makes comparisons about the ways and traditions of Americans verse those of the people in Kabul.
The first chapter of this book was very interesting. I felt really bad for Roshanna with her having went through getting raped in her first marriage and being called cruel names and then trying to have another marriage without her husband finding out that she is not a virgin. I thought it was interesting the way Deborah came up with to save her friend from her new husband finding out. It was a bit weird her cutting her hand to put blood on the cloth to make it appear that Roshanna was still a virgin.
At the wedding I thought it was kinda weird how the men and women are separated and not allowed to dance with each other. What I thought was even weirder was that some of the women dressed up like men and danced with each other and both the men and women grinded with each other. I think that would be a little akward. I also could not even imagine that the women in kabul who are not allowed to do like anything would even know how to dance like that.

Some minor grammar errors:
Begging? misspelled
Verse= vs.
Some of the wording is a bit awkward, like describing Roshanna's rape? You need to clean up some writing mistakes. You can edit these posts you know?
I'm surprised that you having read Swallows of Kabul might be shocked at how Afghani women are treated, since that was a major theme from the last book you read on this blog?
Glad you like the author's style though.
