I absolutely loved this book.
I absolutely loved this book. The author is an excellent storyteller with a very descriptive style of writing that makes you feel as though you are part of the story yourself. Of course there are times throughout this book when you wonder how you will get through reading it, and at the same time you are compelled to continue. His second book A Thousand Splendid Suns is wonderful too, I am pleased to see that you are currently reading it.
