Gotta read this!

I have just finished reading,’ A thousand splendid suns’ by Khaled Hosseini and it was fantastic. You can’t helped being touched by this book. I feel like I know the main characters, Mariam and Lalia intaimately. A totally got lost in the book (which is a rare occurance for me!) The whole book is all encompasing and I have learnt so much about how war affects others in different cultures. It makes you take a look at what you have and how you live, after reading this it makes you realise that we take so much for granted in  our lives!

This book comes highly recommened and Richard & Judy were totally right in their review of this book, they described it as unputdownable and it is not to  be missed!

 Hosseni writes well and is easy to understand, his pace in the book is just right! I am thinking of buying  his first book, the kite runner now…
