I just finished this book on Thursday, and this book is utterly astounding. It will bring you up, and bring you back down all in one page. I haven't read many books where an author is able to do that with the readers hopes for the characters.
I know that it just came out this past Tuesday (5.22), but I was wondering if anyone has been able to read it yet. I have a desperate need to discuss it with someone else. I know for sure that it will make a wonderful book discussion book.

I didn't know that Khaled had a new book out. I will be right onto Amazon to order this one, LOVED the Kite Runner!!

Rarely do I see an entire thread where e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y is excited about a new book coming out.

I have had this book for ages but felt I needed a rest from Afganistan after reading Kabul Beauty School and the Kite Runner quite close together. Once I get past my 'have to read pile' (bookring & review) I will be reading this. I am really looking forward to it.

I've read both of his books and I think he is a truly gifted writer

I read The Kite Runner and thought that was good

I listened to an unabridged version read by Attosa Leoni (sp?). I thought it was absolutely wonderful. The reading was perfect. The novel itself was very hard on the emotions at times but it was worth it.

I nearly picked this up in the hospital last week. I put it down in favour of another book. If it weren't for a few pence I would have picked up both. I think i should have got this one, but the one I got looks quite good, and is a cultural novel too.
