This book, in my opinion, was an utter disgrace to the Afghani society. Women there have been treated fairly for the past 1000 years.
As I am a pure blooded, traditional Afghani male, I believe in the good intentions of Allah, and his demi gods. Stuff you all.

I couldn't put it down. A truly powerful and emotional story. It gave me a new appreciation of the plight of women in third world countries.

It was un-put-downable. It's a realistic point of view of what life can be and what you make of it. Its the ultimate story of sacrifice, love and tyranny. Hosseini has outdone some of the best writers of the 21st century in a way that can't be described - it's ineffable. Every character is palpable and leaves a deep imprint on your heart and soul. A beautiful tale. Just read it.
