A Thousand Splendid Suns
Good but so dismal and punchguts in mood it doesn't have a lot of re-read value to me. If I want to remind myself of Afghani women's difficult lives, I'll prefer real women's stories.

I can't believe this book is so low rated. It was wonderful and sad. The true life story of a a woman's struggle in the middle east kept me riveted.

The Kite Runner was definitely not a fluke! This guy can write! :) This book will make any American woman count her blessings while once again opening that curtain for us to peek into Afghan culture.

Not as good as The Kite Runner, but still a good read. It portrays the hardships of females in Muslim countries.

Amazing book.  One of my favorites to date.  I still have yet to read The Kite Runner, though.  I wonder if its as good as this one.
