You said, ” . . . but very little brings it home like a novel, and this book definitely does that.” Isn’t that the truth? I am glad to hear you enjoyed this one. I haven’t yet read it, but I really did love The Kite Runner and have been shying away from starting this one for the reasons you described. I guess I better get on with it though. Thanks for a great review!

I loved this book too. Even I read Kite runner before this and i constantly kept comparing the 2 books, but somewhere after 50 pages i stopped and decided that this book is equally wonderful and deserving in it’s own way.

I really loved this book when I read it last year. So emotionally powerful!

Wonderful review! I too loved The Kite Runner but have been apprehensive about picking up A Thousand Splendid Suns because my expectations are so high!

I am so behind. I just got The Kite Runner. It’s in my TBR stack, but it looks like I am in for a treat.

I, too, was afraid I’d be disappointed by *A Thousand Splendid Suns*, comparing it to the marvelous *The Kite Runner*. Wow, was I wrong! Yes, this novel is every bit as good as Hosseini’s first!

I liked the focus on the female relationship/perspective in *A Thousand Splendid Suns* (for a change)
