Helpful Score: 2
After hearing all the hype about this book, I decided that I had to read it. I'm very glad that I did. Hosseini is a masterful story teller. I read this book in one day; once I started it, I could not put it down.
A Thousand Splendid Suns is woven with Afghani history, but not so much so that it weighs the novel down. I felt that this story was complete; nothing could be added or taken away that could make it any better. Once I finished, I wasn't left with the feeling that something was missing. This book was so well written that there wasn't a moment where I didn't feel like I was part of the story, enduring through everything with Laila and Mariam.
This was, in my opinion, a perfect novel and a beautiful addition to contemporary fiction.
