***Worth a read if you want to be entertained, and don't mind a repeat of the themes of Kite Runner. Hosseini really is a splendid story teller and the book "goes down" as smooth a cream. I think I may have enjoyed Kite Runner a little more because of the dynamic cast of characters and change of settings, which were lacking in this subsequent work. Also the plot and characters seemed more developed in Hosseini's first novel, possibly the result of the former's longer "gestation" period. Overall still worth the time, but don't expect the same quality Hosseini delivered with Kite Runner.
