A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

5.0

I originally picked this book up because I loved The Kite Runner. Quickly though, A Thousand Splendid Suns surpassed it as one of my favorites. Hosseini, only as he could, paints a simultaneously ugly and beautiful picture of a war torn Afghanistan, and the people who call it home. The ending was by far my favorite as Hosseini tied up all the loose ends. His characters are some of the richest and well developed in literature, and the plot knows when to move and when to linger. It is, dare I say, perfect, and should be required reading for the entire human race.
