not Interpretaion of Murder - dire....
I really loved The Kite Runner

Not read the other two I'm afraid.
I was also disappointed by Interpretation of Murder.
The Kite Runner is v good - but not at all enjoyable.

I was very disappointed by Interpretation Of Murder.

Never heard of the third.

The Kite Runner is excellent, but I think Interpretation of Murder will suit you better - haven't read the other book.

Oooh, im not really up for weepy - the last book i read touched on the war in Afghanistan and it made me angry. Maybe save that one for another time.

Maybe some murder detective lite is about right for now.

I loved the Kite Runner. It is a bit of a weepy but also uplifting (if you see what I mean). It is now one of my all time favourite books.

Haven't read the others I'm afraid.

kite runner

haven't read the others

in the same vein but better than kite runner is

A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
Interpretation of Murder is a bit murder detective lite. I loved it but then my idea of a relax is to read Agatha Christie, don't know the others, but have heard Kite Runner is a weepy.

kite runner is a tragic story - not v meaty - has had great reviews. LIked it better than 1000 Splendid Suns (same author)

don't know the other books sorry

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
