This book captured my attention and held it every single page. It's beautifully written as all work by Khaled Hosseini is and made me feel happiness and sadness on every page
2.5 StarsOh that felt like blasphemy to type, but I’ve gotta be honest here. I loved The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, but Hosseini just missed the mark with this one.The story begins with a father telling his children a fable of an evil div (monster) who roamed various villages and wou...
Το καλύτερο από τα βιβλία του ως τώρα.Οι χαρακτήρες ολοζώντανοι. Το συναίσθημα στο φουλ. Οι ιστορίες με τρομερό ενδιαφέρον, σαν παραμύθια που το ένα διαδέχεται το άλλο και όλα μαζί διατρέχουν τη σύγχρονη ιστορία του Αφγανιστάν.

I enjoyed this, though less than Hosseini's previous novels. I appreciated the particular stories set into a sprawling historical and interpersonal context, and in particular the pathos of relationships that can never be repaired or resolved.The audiobook was challenging, with three readers (why?) w...
I thought that this was wonderful, like his two previous books, but would have been even better if there were not quite so many characters and side stories. I liked the extra characters and side stories, but they could have been written as a separate book.
A wonderful, wonderful book. A multigenerational tale told in layers of love, loyalty and family. Poignant and mesmerizing. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys well-written fiction and stories well-told.
