Mary Renault has kept me interested with each of her stories of Alexander and the Greek Heroes. I read each one eagerly and dreaded for the story to end. Funeral Games was quite dark (duh ... I should have seen that coming) and left me sorry that I started it, yet I didn't put it down!

I was surely surprised that Khaled Hosseini could hit a second home run. The Kite Runner is right up there at the top of my "LOVED IT" books, but this one moved to an equal level. Well-developed characters deserve all the hisses and cheers that I offered. Darkly disturbing, but still leaving one feeling that good will overcome the bad.
