A thousand splendid suns. It was one of THE books I have read in my life. For some reason The Kite Runner did not touch me as deeply. Although I think one should read both. Plus And the mountains echoed.

A Thousand Splendid Suns, every time. I’ve read both but I will never forget the impact Splendid Suns has had on me.

Found Kite Runner a bit hard to take, the Mountains Echoed didn’t fulfil it’s promise for me so looking forward to Thousand Splendid Suns, seems more popular!

Kite runner is about boys and A Thousand Spendid Suns is about girls.
