I am sure that this book has been discussed here many times but I have just finished reading it and had to post something.

What a book

I would not only recommend this book to anyone but insist that everyone read it. It was fabulous, so moving, so real, such a gifted storyteller, he made me laugh and cry (a lot). I could not put it down and read it in 2 days. I cannot wait to get my hands on his next book - A thousand splendid suns.

I thought it was very compelling, read it in 3 days. Really liked the beginning, but wasn't convinced by the second half... I loved the description of Kabul in the 70s.

I loved it too.

Can't wait to see the film and read his second book.

I am reading The Bookseller of Kabul atm,not as fab as I was expecting but still an eye opener.

What a mess that country is in.

I have seen the adverts for the film, but to be honest I am going to wait a while to see the film as I am afraid that they will ruin it
