    “I Liked the book, but I seriously think that "The Kite Runner" was a masterpiece. We shouldnt be comparing the two. Khaled Hosseini efforts to bring the sufferings of the people in Afghanistan to everyone's notice needs a lot of appreciation.”

    “i'm so sorry but this is unimaginable that people can like something like this after reading a master piece from him before.. its too much cliche now... same old stuff told in a different way.. very dissapointing... if u like pain and suffering try some other book this will waste your time money and would do substantial benefit to your english... ”

    “I was surprised how much I liked this book! I think I even prefer it to Kiterunner, because I find the female story so compelling. The heartbreaking part of it is that Mariam and Laila's stories probably aren't that far out of the ordinary..”
