Great!

-Mahi

i loved this book it was just too good i finished it in two days because it was too good to be put down seriously love khaled hussani, work i cant wait for his next book

Okay, I'm back...  I hope you didn't think I forgot about this, Mahi! So here are my views...

 

- I completely and utterly wanted to KILL (sorry for the caps) Rasheed... 😆

 

- Mariam's character was just so touching and tragic at the same time... she never really got to experience true happiness in her entire life. As for Laila, it must have been worse for her because she had happiness before... but then to have it all snatched away from you must be even more difficult...

 

- Tariq's character was extremely interesting... I wish that there would have been a part in the book from his point of view... it would have made the book even better! As for Aziza... I felt so sorry for the poor child throughout the book... the orphanage scenes were so sad!

 

- I'm sorry that I'm not writing much more... but I just finished reading The Kite Runner today and I'm thinking about that right now!

this is indeed the best book i have ever read
very emotional
left me crying in many parts
didnt read kite runner as yet
want to read it soon

Hi I read this book a month ago on suggestion by a friend, but i'd already have read the Kite Runner before and totally loved it. So i knew that this book would be good. So I had really high expectations. Ok , so about the book:

-Firstly it's extremely well written. I loved the way how it's written from either Mariam or Laila's perspective.

- Reading Mariam's suffering and early childhood turmoil was really sad. But similarily Laila went through the same thing.

- I really liked the special bond between Tariq & Laila. Just the same way Laila and Mariam's friendship grew.

Just really enjoyed reading the book overall. One of the best books i've read this year.
