The Kite Runner/A Thousand Splendid Suns

[twistedlegato]

Has anyone else read these amazing books? I have finished The Kite Runner and i just finished the end of "Part 1" of A Thousand Splendid Suns.

I just love these books, even though I am rather young. They are extremely well written, and have great plots and conflicts. I really can't wait to finish reading ATSS.


Plus, I'm Persian so i can understand all those words in italics which makes it more fun

Kite runner was beautiful read
very believable and flowed nicely

thousand splendid sun was utter crap. it is clear that the author is male and does a poor job of describing the reasoning behind the action of the female characters. the characters feel like standard stereotypes with no depth and uniqueness.

I have read The Kite Runner (two years ago I think) and I remember liking it.

I haven't gotten around to reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, but I'm sure I will one of these days.

twistedlegato, I assume you're in high school or thereabouts (rather young is a tad vague) but you'll read some even better books soon.

Yeah, so far The Kite Runner is MUCH better. But I'll finish read A Thousand Splendid Suns anyways.

I actually liked A Thousand Splendid Suns better. I found the Kite Runner to be rather fantastic at times and I think it moved me less.

I personally did not particularly like Kite Runner, but I had to read it for school, which puts all books in an entirely different light, in my opinion. So I'm considering re-reading just on my own and seeing what I think of it then...
