A review by meliacartin
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

i liked this way more than the kite runner. the kite runner is great but i think this book will stick with me for a long long time. couldn’t put it down
