A Thousand Splendid Suns

I had heard of Khaled Husseini before, as the author of The Kite Runner, which was a big best seller. Then the girls at Splendora praised his second book, A Thousand Splendid Suns. I hadn't really planned on reading The Kite Runner, since the back cover summary didn't sound that interesting. But this book, a story about two women in Afghanistan, really piqued my interest.

I read it in four days, and I enjoyed all of it. And I cry at almost everything, but this book made me seriously bawl. I should've had a box of Kleenex next to me, but I would get up and grab one from the bathroom, all while I was still trying to read. I couldn't put this book down.

Now I'm going to read his first book, and from the praise I've heard for it, sounds like I'm in for another enjoyable ride.
