FBRC REVIEW :
After reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, I had high expectations from his work. I always wanted to read his works and always for some reason never got around to it. When I in India for our mini-vacation I asked my brother to order quite a lot of books from Amazon India. These were on the list and I was really happy with my purchase and the delivery as well.
As I was reading this book, I realized that this is not from just one person's point of view, but the story is told from several other character's POV as well. I wasn't really expecting it and after the initial surprise had worn off, I really got pulled into the story of Abdullah and Pari. Because the story is told from different perspectives and different timelines as well, the depth of heartbreak was a lot less compared to The Kite Runner for me personally. It's not that the story didn't grip me or wreak havoc on my emotions, it was just the opposite, but I found myself being pulled into another world and another story before I could drown in the emotions the story made me feel. The way all these stories are so wonderfully woven together forming a beautiful, unforgettable reading experience is just amazing. The interconnecting storylines bring us more clarity of events and the motivations of these characters as well. Overall it's a story of love, family-bonds, life-journeys, and heartbreak. It's masterfully written and captures the hearts of readers and tugs their heartstrings effortlessly. This book is a great work on human behavior, characters whose actions and voices cause ripples that will carry from the past to the future. It's very well written and has a lasting effect on the reader as well. I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend checking it out. I gave it 5 stars.
