A Thousand splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini

" One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,
Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls. "

Don't know why but I just had to post it here... this is an extract from the email to my friend from whom I borrowed this book. Was intending to read "The Kite Runner" first but was told that this was better (a personal choice of this friend) and was steadfastly given it even before the other :)

Well I do not blame it, I got to read a good book and now I am only looking forward to reading the Kite runner so I believe this book has done its job and stands by its appreciation.

" I finished a thousand splendid suns... amazing book... simply too good. well written, depicts a very true and nice picture amidst all the pain and demolitions... as u said it almost makes u feel as if u were there.... its made me feel good about people.... restored my faith and respect for the afghans.... (nahi seriously) i was sick abt the fact tht they had destroyed so many things and i am not talkin abt just buildings but sacred artefact's, the statues (the most!) .... but i forgot tht just as many of us feel abt it... surely there are their own people who detest it... all tht happened. might sound silly but well it sure makes me feel good... and last but not the least... gives u the strength to believe in faith and having hope. despite whatever there is always light at the end of the road. it might not be the same picture tht u had in ur mind but surely gives u a chance at painting it the way u want... build it towards the way u see it :)

thanks for the book.... honestly... i loved it.... to mariam & laila... inshallah! "

hehehe.... seems to be a bit funny the way i wrote it... not exactly a book review... not entirely how i feel abt the book.... but certainly the way it came out from my mind and onto the keybboards... so not gonna make any changes... am sure i could do a better job at it... but i am gonna let it be. thanks for the book :)

Well.... as I said, not exactly a review...rather not a review but how I felt after reading the book. To those who are reading this post... get a hold of this one... you certainly will not regret it.
