With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking to hand out the wooden spoon to the worst book you've read this year (that was published in the last year or 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.

I enjoyed this book, and am amazed to find it nominated here. Although not written in quite the same style as *The Kite Runner*, which is one of my favourite books, it is nonetheless a well-written story which evokes well the situation of women in Afghanistan. I was impressed by the way Khaled Hosseini writes from the women`s point of view - I would not have guessed that this book was written by a man.

I was utterly gripped by this book. It opened up a whole world to me, I found the characters interesting and the descriptions of Afganistan really evocative.

I thought this book was excellent, as good as The Kite Runner, I couldn't put it down and also cried buckets. Don't know why its on the Worst book of the year, completely disagree!!

I thought it was excellent, as was the kite runner by the same author. Very gripping and moving, I cried buckets! Dont understand the other poster about someone coming back from the dead, I cant recall that happening :s
