Superb - By: Ms. J. C. Caswell, 03 Jul 2008 
This book should be introduced as mandatory reading materialin schools. It was very well written. The author cleverly gives enough detail without having to be graffic but you very much get the point. I could happily read this book again & I don't think I've ever said that about a book. I'm going to get the Kite Runner now as I hear good things about it.
Unforgettable - By: J. Badrashi, 28 Jun 2008 After being overwhelmed by Hosseini's The Kite Runner I couldn't wait to read his second novel & I wasn't disappointed. An absolute "must read" for all book lovers. Am now just awaiting a third offering.
Hosseini writes with such compassion & conviction he makes you believe you were therein Afghanistan witnessing the whole story.
Great Story - By: G. Wharmby, 26 Jun 2008 This book provides you with an insight into a world that most people will never experience. The fact that people are still forced into marriages with someone that they barely know is frightening. This book reveals more savage tales from Afghanistan & would have you believe that Hosseini has witnessed some truly brutal scenesin his youth. Buy this book if you liked The Kite Runner.
So Powerful and Captivating - By: Potkin, 24 Jun 2008 I have recommended reading this book to so many people. It is so powerful & captivating. At the page where the little girl shows so much grace before being taken to the orphanage, my heart sank & I had to read the rest of the book there & then, I could not put it down.
As well as a very powerful story, this book also demonstrates the core problems of Afghanistanin its struggle to become a contemporary country amongst the world community.
Amazing!!!!! - By: M. Adesite, 23 Jun 2008 This book is simply one word- Amazing. The way Khalid is able to draw upon ideas of what it is like to be a Muslism wife & the hardships that "some" face is quite poignant. It is a sad story & one that no doubt will make you think, but I highly recommend it & i am sure you won't put it down.Brilliant
