dark sad tense

Such a beautiful yet heart breaking book. Certainly one of the best. To be read with tissues nearby.

For those readers who have ever been haunted by a decision, even if it had been made in an instant and decades before, you will understand having to deal with regret much like the protagonist Amir has in "The Kite Runner."  Hosseini's characters and their actions ring so true that it is inevitable that it will make the readers remember their own successes and failures.  Highly recommended.

”Mitt liv var så gott. Jag undrade om jag förtjänat det.”
Flyga drake är en fristad för oss som jagats av det som gör oss till dåliga människor. Ironiskt nog mer så än Khaled Hosseinis Tusen stålande solar, som var min faktiska fristad då jag fick min dom. ”Den som inte har något samvete, som saknar godhet, lider inte.” Jag läste fel bok vid fel tillfälle helt enkelt.

This was such a good read. It really shows how family dynamics and friendships can completely shape the way life turns out. The story is deep, emotional, and unforgettable.

Funny enough, I first read this back in my freshman year of college and just couldn’t get into it. Picking it up again now, I see it in such a different light—and I’m so glad I gave it another chance.

Durísimo. ¿Cómo no lo leí antes!?
