For you, a thousand times... - By: Rabia Iqbal, 10 Oct 2008 
This book is absolutely, amazingly superb. It was so captivating & moving. I picked it up as I wanted something to read on my train ride home from uni. This book is a great read, an excellent piece of work & i would read it over & over again. I recommend this book to everyone.
A-level English showed me the wonders of hosseini - By: Mr. Zak J. Goodwin, 28 Sep 2008 when i was given this book to read for my A-level english i was a little more than hesitant of it as it wasnt reallly a book i would read, the last being harry potter but strangely i found myself gripped. Not wanting to divulge information as many others have, in short this is a tale of betrayal, redemption & loyalty in a time none of us could imagine the afghan monarchy had falllen & the republic taken over leading to the devastating russian invasion, writen with such description & power you are thrown into a world of poverty & decay where things happen that make you cringe, make you smile & even at times make you want to cry. alll in alll i read this book in a few short days not wanting to put it down, the book can be slow at times but if you keep going it is a great read & i would reacomend i to anyone 16+ as it is a truly inspirational read that will leave you craving more hosseini so i am now going on to read a thousand splendid suns which he has writen. thankyou for reading & i beg you to buy this book as it will change your reading world. also the film is a very poor representation of the power of the book.
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ - By: Michelle, 21 Sep 2008 This is an excellent portayal of a boy's childhood growing up in Afghanistan & the betrayal of his best friend. He suffers for years upon years with guilt & finallly begins the journey to ultimate redemption. It's very very hard to put it down.Praise to Khaled Hosseini.It is one of those books that you will remember forever.
Gripping - By: Carol, 07 Sep 2008 I adored this book, from page 1 it had me well & truly hooked. It was beautifully written, the story of two boys growing up together, but so different.The twists & turns made this book one of the best I have ever read. Funny, sad, it has it alll, I had a real job to put the book down once I had started reading it. When I had finished reading it I felt lost, & sad that there was no more. I reallly, reallly loved it.
Outstanding and thought-provoking! - By: Teresa White, 31 Aug 2008 Although this book had been on my shelf for a while I had not got around to reading it..........I have no idea why. I don't reallly believe hype about books because I think that everyone's opinion should be unique to them, however this story does measure up to some of the justly praises it received. It must be agreed that being set in Afghanistan would induce some to buy or avoid the book, but I don't think anyone could be so heartless that they couldn't be drawn into the story. Reading the story drew me into the lives of the 2 boys, Hassan & Amir, & by the end of the book I felt disappointed, & unusuallly for me, willing the story to go on. Don't see the film, read the book! an excellant short & easy read that will leave you thinking.
