      I had to read this book after reading Hosseini's, The Kite Runner. His writing style is intense and realistic. He writes with lucidity and emotion. I was moved to tears in both books. What I especially loved about, A Thousand Splendid Suns was the friendship the women made in most terrible of circumstances. Five stars *****

      VERY good book!!! I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to read it now! I was mostly afraid it would be full of politics I couldn't understand, but it wasn't. I recommend this book to everyone!! It's been a while since I've read a book where I actually fall in love with some characters and hate others, this was that kind of book. These characters will stay with me for a long time.

    • It was painful to read. He is a great author, the kite runner was amazing. But this was too much. I finished it because I needed to know the ending. But it was hard, there is just too much suffering. Too much sadness.

    • A pretty sad story about two women in Kabu, Afghanistan. The plot wasn't as exciting as Kite Runner, but the style of writing and emotion has improved much from the first one.

      A pretty sad story about two women in Kabu, Afghanistan. The plot wasn't as exciting as Kite Runner, but the style of writing and emotion has improved much from the first one.

      Mariam and Laila were coming from totally different background, and yet their fate and lives were brought together by an unworthy man, somehow protected them from the warlords that came and went. Though their rebellion instinct produced many wretched beating from their husband, the same stubbornness that brought them back to Kabu to rebuild their home.

    • For me, this was better than Kite Runner. I felt closely connected to both female characters and was amazed by how well Hosseini was able to depict women. The story itself is heartbreaking, yet inspirational. This is one of my all-time favorites.
