I enjoy Hosseini's writing style. A good way to learn the history of Afganistan.

I loved this book! I'm a slow reader and I was so engrossed in the story, I finished it in five days! When you're staying up all night reading, you know it's a good book!
I was so moved by the story, I bought The Kite Runner afterwards. This book really gives us a sense of what Afghans are going through, especially the women of Afghanistan. This is a touching and inspirational story and I recommend it to everyone!

It is a kind of Stephen King in the Taliban Afghanistan. It is a horror story. Gorgeously written. You live and die for the characters. You breath with them.
Inspirational August 19, 2008
This book is one that truly depicts the horrible state thousands of Afghan women were in in the past 30 years or so. Khaled Hosseini was able to write another great book about a topic that is sometimes hidden from people. The story is of how 2 totally different women from different backgrounds came together to free themselves from the dangers that surrounded them every day. In the many struggles they went through, the 2 became even closer, and always planned to stay together. Using history as a base for people's lives was a good idea for Hosseini, and makes this story very realistic. A Thousand Splendid Suns is a must read, along with the Kite Runner, and is a story that will change your views on Afghanistan and other parts of the world.
