Well, it's difficult to live up to "The Kite Runner"... I kinda liked this too, though...

hmm...i see u've stopped replying to comments. iru iru, pathukkuren...

the husband - what a title for a book. i'd have preferred 'A husband' :D

Devil Mood said...

oooh a thriller! :)
Sometimes there's nothing like a good mystery. Usually crime literature is so underrated, but it takes a sharp mind to create those stories.

SuperN,

There are yay loads of stuff I didn't agree with the author in this particular book. The Kite Runner tho was a masterpiece :)


Mush,

Not a great book to own or anything, but its worth a read. Especially since you've been living very far away from an Islamic country and the book IS totally revolving about the religion, its good to know about the things we didn't already! And Khaled Hosseini has done a great job of shedding light on the religion, war, issues et al. :)

Miss Iyer said...

Dharma,

Not at all! How can I not reply to you? ;) The Husband is a thriller, up until now at least :)


DevilM,

Yup, totally! :)


Rims,

Not worth owning one Reema, that is, in my humble opinion. The Kite Runner though is a masterpiece. :)


Phish,

Welcome aboard and Thanks :) I will try it.

ohh really?? i was planning on reading it.. the kite running was absolutely stunning, so i suppose its hard to live up to that.

Khaled had raised the bar far too much with the kite runner and has not been able to live up to it in this one... I too have reviewed the book and if you wish you can read my review here...

FrangM,

The Kite Runner is a classic! :) Thanks for dropping by.


Dust,

Welcome aboard! I agree with you. The Kite Runner is kinda difficult to live up to. Do visit more often.
