Thunder Over Kandahar Audiobook

" Wow, this one was riveting! The story of two friends and the lengths they have to go to escape from Taliban territory into Packistan. I listened to the audio, which was very good. "

" I thought that the book Thunder Over Kandahar is a pretty good book. I didn't really like the ending because I thought that it was boring and I thought it could have been better. The characters were interesting my favorite was Yasmine, she was born and raised in britain and she moves to Afghanistan because her dad got a job as a professor. She's my favorite because she's strong, brave, smart and caring. She stands up for her friends, family and for herself, and she cares and loves them. I found it surprising when Tammana says that she has to get married and she's only like twelve and she doesn't even know the guy. I thought it was sad when Yasmine lost her memory. The setting which is in Afghanistan, seems like a scary and dangerous place to live in. They discriminate women. Think that women are good for nothing, they don't let women go outside without a man and they don't let them go to school. "

" This is a pretty quick read about two friends in modern day Afghanistan. It is a pretty realistic book but for some reason didn't keep my interest for very long. At one point when Yasmine lost her memory, I thought that was so out of the blue and random, I think the author could have worked that into the story a little more smoothly. "

" This was a pretty engaging story, but I kind of felt like it was a little over the top. I don't doubt that any of those activities could be directed towards women by the Taliban in a traditional Afghan area. However, I struggled with it all happening to the same people. Not fair, I know, because it's a book and not real life. To my better high school readers I would still recommend A Thousand Splendid Suns over this one. "

" Stunning! An amazing insite on what it is like in the Middle East from several angles. It really is hard to describe this book. The writing itself may be a little weak at times, but the grip and info makes up for it and vice-versa. "

" A GREAT young adult book about friendship, cultural identy, and current events all wrapped around a good story line. "

" This brave story is memorable and necessary; a story of friendship, love and trust. Taking place in Afghanistan this story unfolds with brutal reality showing us what it means to follow the "call home". "

" An excellent introduction for young readers into the complex situation that is Afghanistan. "

" Its about a girl named Yasmine making a strong friendship with a girl named Tamanna.They even risk their lifes, when they barely know each other. "

" Great book! I read it in one day. Coming of age story of two girls in Afghanistan. You can tell that the author tried really hard to spend time in Afghanistan and write it from the characters point of views. "

" It was an alright book, quick read. I wasn't overly impressed with the writing style, but it was a good story. "

" I am on page 19 and it is very good if you are looking for a book that goes straight to the point. "

" so far i am on page 45 and I am loving the book becsue it's fast but not too fast.i would give this book five stars becuse the charactors(tamanna and yasmine) are great they are able to use they're emotions to describe more of they're suroundings. "

" Another great book by McKay. "

" Highly recommend this one! What a beautiful and powerful story. "

" This book is about two girls, Yasmine and Tamanna, who are both running away from something. Yasmine was targeted by the Taliban. Tamanna was to be forced to marry a man. This book shows a good amount of friendship. It is recommended to the people who like friendship. "

" This book was interesting, informative and unique. The pictures added a depth to each chapter that I have never encountered. It was brilliant! I'd definitely like to read more of her books. "

" Pretty much held my breath the whole time, but don't let that deter you from checking out this very moving and read about another world -- one that's both alien & universal. "
