Looking back, I don't think I've seen any male reviews of the book. I passed it onto my dad a few days ago, so it will be interesting what he says. I had the same feeling about the book, though--I felt so incredibly lucky to have the freedoms that I do.

He wasn't crazy about it, while I feel it was even better than Kite Runner.<BR/><BR/>I don't remember being pulled into the story as much with Kite Runner. At one point, while reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, I was out picking up dinner at a restaurant run by a family of Muslims, when I had a momentary pang of fear - thinking I should not be out without my husband or a burka!<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering if THAT is the reason my husband and I don't agree. Being a woman, it was much easier for me to get pulled into their lives and feel a part of it. Perhaps that is why I have seen so many men pan it?<BR/><BR/>All in all, it's definitely a book I will keep for my girls to read when they are older. Just another reminder of how good our lives are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-74053675682655735272007-07-07T14:31:00.000-05:002007-07-07T14:31:00.000-05:00I'm really looking forward to A THOUSAND SPLENDID ...I'm really looking forward to A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS.

I guess maybe because I had been waiting for a book this compelling for quite some time.<BR/><BR/>* Pamela - I don't think you'll be disappointed; I thought it was better than The Kite Runner<BR/><BR/>* Wendy - Thanks! I hope you enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>* MyUtopia - Both are great books; hope you can get to them soon!<BR/><BR/>* Stephanie - I'm glad you liked The Storyteller's Daughter. We had to teach it for freshman comp a few years ago, but I'm still promoting it. Hope you like Hosseini's books also! A lot of similarities between his new one and Shah's book.<BR/><BR/>*Mailyn - Half American, half Canuck, but I was in the US this year.
