Pros
- Khaled Hosseini's books are some of the best I've ever read... and some of the saddest. The Kite Runner and A Thousand Secret Suns are absolutely beautiful and will rip your heart out and leave it a chewed-up, spit-out wreck.
- and if you like fiction, Thr Kite Runner . I appreciate how fictional books talk about food and customs.
- I felt it again in The Kite Runner when a small moment showed how guilt can stay with you even when you try to move forward. It was not loud. It was just honest.
- One of my absolute favourite books! It’s hauntingly tragic and devastatingly beautiful. I liked it better than The Kite Runner
- Imo, this book is better then his first book The Kite Runner.
Cons
- Parent context: The Kite Runner I dont read books much But this one literally blew my mind of how properly it was written. The character arcs their personas how they were grey in personality not black and white. Good thing about this boo...
- It’s often compared to The Alchemist and The Kite Runner.
- I tried reading The Kite Runner, but it took a turn that made it difficult to continue to read.
- I respect the authors masterful writing/storytelling. But I wasn’t prepared to have my heart broken like kiterunner and a thousand splendid suns did. I can’t remember which story I read first but the fact that I read the other even after...
- The only thing I liked about it was the title.

Yes, and The Kite Runner is also excellent.
Parent context: The Kite Runner I dont read books much But this one literally blew my mind of how properly it was written. The character arcs their personas how they were grey in personality not black and white. Good thing about this book is that you can relate with this And ofcourse it was kinda traumatising too And touching many sensitive topics I just loved it, if you havent read this yet give it a try. Reply: I just started this! It got sad quickly so i put it down. I will try to be brave.

The Kite Runner. I was not right for days after reading it.
4. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (my personal favorite semi-classic, gut-wrenching tbh)
