Moving and Touching! August 24, 2008 Just finished this book yesterday.
Great novel. Tells of unconditional love, unwavering loyalty... and then betrayal followed by ultimate redemption.
This book can move you to tears at some point. It's one of the stories that you'll remember for a long time.
'For you, a thousand times over'.
Gripping story but with some flaws August 21, 2008 I found this fiction as very gripping and thoroughly enjoyed it. Only complain i have is that the lead character grew bold all of a sudden. I can accept that the lead character is faced with hostility in Afghanistan but his reaction to it is something that I don't find realistic; even for someone having strong feeling of redemption. Though in author's defence, this is not the first time I have seen in fictions where lead characters suddenly become heroes.
Deeply moving August 19, 2008 A tear came down when I finished this book. And, btw, I liked the movie too (for different reasons).
Do not watch the movie. August 17, 2008 Great author...read this book and...A Thousand Splendid Suns...all in two weeks. The best two books I read this year and I normally read two books per week.
A story of a man who never stood up for anything all his life, tries to find the courage to make things right. August 16, 2008 I read my roommate's copy of this book and enjoyed it. I purchased a copy to give to my teenage stepsister. It is very interesting to read different cultures and different views of Muslims in different countries. Just like other faiths that varies understanding from different regions in the world. A story of a man who never stood up for anything all his life, tries to find the courage to make things right.
