Khaled Hosseini has written 3 novels. ‘The kite runner’, ‘A
thousand splendid suns’, ‘And the mountains echoed’. All of them are best
sellers.
It
seems impossible to write something that can satisfy a novice and a mature
reader both. Khaled has done that impossible.
I read his And the mountains echoed first.
The book is deep in terms of the content and creates an impact on the mind.
There is seamless transition from one country to other and from one
generation to other.
Read it for his simple yet refined style of writing but foremost for the
story itself.
Story
of A thousand splendid suns is
dreary.
It
reveals the state of women in Afghanistan.
While
I was realizing their pathetic, inhuman condition in a fabulously molded story,
a point of sadness,frustration and helplessness took over me. But of course I
continued reading because I was hypnotized by his style and was curious about the
story.
Both
the books have no single point of boredom because firstly the story base
is fantastic and then there are plot twists changing the entire dimensions of
the story. And to top it all we have his refined expressions which make his
books a must read.
His books have an intense hangover. It took me 1 full day to get back to
my previous life.
You are part of the book when you read it and then … the book is a part
of you.
I strongly recommend this book for everyone because when you start
reading , you will look forward for the day just because u have Khaled’s
book to indulge in.
