Book Reviews of A Thousand Splendid Suns
Book Review: Overwhelmingly gripping and realistic read
Summary: 5 Stars
A Thousand Splendid Suns tells a vivid story from two different points of view that eventually come together as the female main characters. These women come from two very different backgrounds, and the contrast helps shed light on how they react to their environment. I thought The Kite Runner was well written, but this book speaks to the human condition of injustice that we all feel at some point in our lives. Although some may find this book depressing, I felt it was a realistic portrayal of how life is in this world. Not a fairy tale ending, but completely appropriate. The text carries over from page to page seamlessly, and any interruption to the read is an annoyance, be it a trip to the refridgerator or the more urgent call to employement. Perfect read for the last lazy days of August, excellent for discussion, heartwrenching and thought provoking, A Thousand Splendid Suns provides a look into a world far from what most Americans are concerned with in their daily lives. Book Review: Eye Opener
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is by far the best book I have read to date. This book will open your eyes and heart to those who suffer so greatly over in Iraq, not only that but it is a tremendous story of love and courage that a mother has for children. A must read!Book Review: A new outlook
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never read another book that has touched me the way this book did. It sure made me think about women in other countries in a different light.
I can't wait for another taste of these books by Hosseini.
Book Review: Khaled Hosseini is a great writer. Can't wait for another novel from him.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book a couple of weeks after I finished "The Kite Runner." This book took me a few chapters to get into, and then I again fell in love with the characters. I think if you liked "The Kite Runner" you will also enjoy this book as well. I am now a big fan of Khaled Hosseini and can't wait for him to come out with a new book.Book Review: A must read
Summary: 5 Stars
What a fabulous story filled with depth, feeling and haunting moments. I was sorry when the novel ended and with such a bittersweet conclusion. The story and the characters will stay with you long after you finish the book.
