A Thousand Splendid Suns: A Novel Audiobook

" Understanding our involvement in Afghanistan requires that we understand something about its culture. The author provides a spellbinding glimpse at living in the war-torn, tribal culture. "

" As riveting as The Kite Runner and just as touching. "

" It pulls the reader to be more more curious! "

" I didn't think Hosseini could write better or even equally as well as The Kite Runner. I was mistaken. A Thousand Splendind Suns is beautiful, heart-wrenching, and it made me cry not once or twice, but several times. This is a must-read! "

" Too cruel. Couldn't finish reading "

" I loved loved loved this book. It is very intense at times. I cared about the characters. This is a story that is an important story. "

" fantastic, I cried a couple times... soo good "

" It was the first time I was reading from Khaled Hosseini. Book gives you a glimpse of Afghan women in their daily life. "

" This book was closer to 3.5 stars. There were just a few too many parts that seemed to drag on; this could be because I have just also finished the Kite Runner...maybe too much of one author at once. "

" Even better than The Kite Runner. A devastating read that gives a picture of what it would be like to live under those circumstances. "

" Remarkable story... a true reflection of a woman's status in a country that has little value of women. "

" I think I liked this better than The Kite Runner. What a story! "

" Not nearly as compelling as The Kite Runner.... "

" Incredible. I couldn't put this down and I've never felt so emotionally tied. "

" This is a beautiful piece of literature. Hosseini has completely opened my eyes and heart to Afghanistan. I wish he would write something new. "

" Interesting story. Sometimes dry, but overall worth reading. "

" Deeply moving and intimate. Really sad I've finished it. "

" Very interesting (shocking) view of perception of women in Afghan society and how things changed (for the worse) once the Taliban came into power in the mid-2000's "

" what a book.... "

" Incredible and beautiful. "

" I would rate it higher for its importance, and the fact that it is not poorly written. But the descriptions are too vivid and the conditions described too horrid. This book gave me nightmares, that's how well it gets under my skin. I much prefer stories that are less true and less gruesome. "

" Extremely moving!!! Gives a great perspective on life in the Middle East. "

" A good follow up book to The Kite Runner. "

" This is a hard book about hard things. But it is a wonderful read. I strongly recommend it. I read it a number years ago and re-read for my book group. And it was just as good the second time. "

" The Kite Runner was much better... "

" I said thank God I didnt born in Afghan after reading this book. "

" This was one of the best and most heart-wrenching stories I've ever read. I could not put it down! "

" Sad and touching- a must read! "

" The ending of this book made me cry and have a renewed sense of hope and strength. "

" I can't wait until his next book. I hope he keeps writing.... "

" Outstanding isn't a good enough word for this one. "

" Could not put this book down. Probably one of the best books I've read in a really long time. I cried through the last several chapeters. AWESOME "

" After the Kite runner, one would think that he cannot do a better job. Yet, as you read a thousand splendid suns, the author never stops to amaze you. A book you cannot leave till the very end. "

" One of those books that I started before going to bed one night and ended up finishing it sometime early the next morning. Made me cry about a million times - such a good book!! "

" a good read. i thought "The Kite Runner" was better literature, though. "

" Hosseini is a good writer, and though I may have preferred The Kite Runner, this is a very good book. "

" So....I only gave it one star. I mostly just skimmed right through it. I had a really hard time with the subject matter, which is maybe why I didn't really sit down and really read it through. "

" An overwhelming description of oppression of women and how they survive despite incredible odds and still maintain their integrity as human beings. What resilient women. "

" definitely one of my all time favorite books. so far. "

" An outsider's view about insider afghan. "
