Very very disappointing after reading his first two novels.

It is a different type of story than his last two books, but I still enjoyed the story. There were times were the jumping of time and place threw me a couple of time. Overall it is a great book and would suggest it for any one who liked his other books.

I agree with Kinesgirl ... this book has a different flavour from his previous two, but there's no getting away from the awesome story teller Hosseini is. I enjoyed it very much, and particularly liked figuring out how one story relates to the previous one in the book, it all becomes clear and is very intelligently done!

I agree with Becker that this book was a little confusing during the 2nd half but was very good in the hands of this author,

This is a layered story of subplots that I found confusing at times. I struggled throughout the book to understand and keep track of relationships between characters in some attempt to understand how it all fit together and it did eventually come together for me near the end. Despite all this, I still enjoyed this book for the excellent storytelling quality it had. No one can tell a story like Hosseini and this book is no exception.

I agree with Amanda. After reading the two previous books, this one was a huge let down. Didn't even nfinish it.

Fantastic book! If you've read Hosseini's other books, you should know that it has a different flair and flavour, but it is an excellent read; he is a talented storyteller!

Excellent book! Unfortunate we will have to wait five or six years for his next one. Highly recommended.
