I AM DEAD BUT MY HEART BEATS is a multi-themed love story. The book casts four characters, equally strong and poignant according to the plot and the settings. While reading one can feel that the book is diverted into several parts, prominently couple of entrancing love stories. The part, which mainly goes in the flashback deals with Muzaffarnagar riots, has greater weightage than the other one. Usually, these kinds of love stories do take place in India - the country which is known for numerous diversities and customs. So, a couple or lovers facing horrible consequences given by their respective communities or religions have been a trend.

While reading, readers got hugely displaced by thinking that this book is completely based on his life story. Although it was more about his native country – Afghanistan. In the first part of the book, where the protagonist – Amir and his juvenile antagonist Hassan are more prone to childish desires the book covers the pure and original culture of the country. Kite flying was no less than a festival there. The book covers many aspects of human life’s circumstances but couldn’t find solutions to each issue. As some were international issues, such as seeking refuge in the USA; the attack of Russia on Afghanistan and later on the formation of Taliban to fight against Russians.  In the book, the character named Hassan, a meek boy impresses more than the main lead – Amir. Hassan was made for sympathy because of his inferior cast and poverty while Amir was a son of an affluen...
