The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Extremely moving and well written. Really makes you feel sad for what Afganistan has come to and how the people have suffered. Flawed characters that are so easy to care about. A beautiful book

One of my favourite books of the last 10 years. An absolutely stunning book, gripping from start to finish with amazingly sympathetic characters. The story takes you from pre Taleban Afghanistan to America and back to afghanistan after the dreadful and murderous Taleban regime have taken over this beautiful country. Narrated by a flawed but ultimately heroic man, it is a modern classic. You will not want it to end!
