“i like this book a lot. this book decribe 'real' afghanistan. very attractive book ”
“Everyone says it's about life in Afganistan, but really it's about life anywhere. Taking the location out of it, it really is a common story about anyone (not everyone) and the secrets we keep and hide from those we love. Every family has secrets and this book can be a window into the future of every lie you've told or every truth you've tried to cover up. Eventually, you realize how different so many lives could have been had everyone just been truthful and unafraid to be known and accepted for exactly who they are and what they've done. What makes this story so real and actually timeless is that this story, minus exact details, happens and will always happen throughout humanity.”
“Very eye opening about life in Afghanistan. History is entwined witht he storyline which makes it educational and entertaining. Read a Thousand Splendid Suns for a peak in to what it is like to be a female in Afghanistan. Shocking. And true. ”
“I watched the movie but haven't read the book. Movie was great! But sooo sad!!!”
“I loved The Kite Runner. A true tale of friendship. It is one of the two books that has made cry (The Shack was the other). It was a wonderfully written story about relationships. It was an amazing book to read and I would recommend it to anyone.”
“can anyone tell me about the irony hidden in amir's first stroy i.e, on tears turning to pearls and becoming rich and hassan interprets, tears can also fall by cutting onions either, why should a person kill rather. i really felt that. Present world we think of growing by doing great things or destroying great treasures, while same work can be done by simple task with passion. wow. i loved the book.”
“lol a thousand splendid suns was awesome lol :-D”
“I loved this book, i felt that it was very real and that it really opened my eyes about some of the problems that are going on around the world. Great book and a great movie. Does anyone know if A Thousand Splendid Suns was good?”
“An extremely riveting book! The way Khalid expresses the simplest of things in artful use of words is amazing! I thought Amirs guilt pretty much made the book till the point in the book when Hassan is killed! And yet another journey begins for Amir! Wasnt too happy with the ending though. Would have been more fulfilling and would have left a better taste in the mouth had Sohrab been shown to be happy with his new set of parents who were trying so hard to bring his childhood back!”
“This book kept me up at night because it was so upsetting at times. I loved it though, and I reccommended it to pretty much everyone I talk to.”
