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…

My blog is worth $4,516.32.
How much is your blog worth?
I must look out for this at the library. I’m reading an R&J book at the moment and it’s great (the time traveller’s wife), TBH my snobbery would’ve put me off if I’d realised but maybe I should read all of their books.
hi jane, I am working my way through all of r & j’s books, some of them are great
I will pop in and see you tommorrow, its my last day at work, before I start my 3 day week!! yesssss
R & J’s recommended read is the House of Hiverton and that is unpitcownable. It is set in the 1920’s and is a good story with lots of twists and turns.
hi kait81,
I will that one on my list of ‘must reads’. I have learned that R & J recomenndations are always good, even when you first read about them, they don’t attract you!
