    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.

  • 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.

    Another intimate look into the unimaginably tough life of Afghanis - this time focusing on two women - over the course of their lifetimes. The settings border on unbelievable at times, but looking back over the course of the last 30 years in Afghanistan, it's not hard to imagine how brutal life can be under the changing regimes and war time atrocities.

    A very compelling read. Highly recommend this and The Kite Runner.
