  • Similar to Showtime Series Season One

    Most of the book mirrored a lot of the Showtime series for Season One, but there were some drastic differences at the conclusion of the novel.

    A good, easy read, and a very interesting character.

Cover of A Thousand Splendid Suns
  • Not as great as The Kite Runner, but still great

    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 ... (continue)

    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.

    A vivid tale of rabbits finding a new life for themselves.

    I had not read this book in school - although I know many who did - so I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was written, and even enjoyable for someone twice as old as a high schooler.

    There are segments of "over-wording," where the details are piled on and described for pages at a time ... (continue)

    I had not read this book in school - although I know many who did - so I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was written, and even enjoyable for someone twice as old as a high schooler.

    There are segments of "over-wording," where the details are piled on and described for pages at a time, but overall the story flows very well. At times you are in the rabbits' world, sensing their fear and excitement as though you were there.

    A long read, but well worth the effort in the end.

Cover of The Kite Runner
  • Stunningly great.

    The only reason I picked up this book was because I relied on the group mentality of "so many people can't be wrong." It was on many reading lists, and almost all rated it very highly, that I figured I would try it. Thankfully, they were right.

    This is a very well written and easy to read book. Well, "easy" in the aspect of that the dialog flows very well, not easy in aspect of the subject matter. There were many parts that nearly brought tears to my eyes - literally - with the recognition that even though the story is fiction, it very well could have happened.

    There are a few flaws - the ending is a bit drawn out, for example - but overall I would rate The Kite Runner as my top book that I have read so far this year.

    The end of the trilogy?

    Meyers continues the emotional whirlwinds of Bella, but by the conclusion it still doesn't conclude with a bang - only a whimper.

    Meyers continues the emotional whirlwinds of Bella, but by the conclusion it still doesn't conclude with a bang - only a whimper. All three books have relied heavily on emotions and been saved with flashes of great action, although this time the emotional side overwhelms the story. A glorious finish would have been nice, but instead it was just pretty good, with many unanswered questions for yet another follow-up novel.
