As Hosseini develops the few main characters in the story, he constantly moves back and forth between them, keeping the reader focused so as not to lose track of the plot. In a way, the storyline hooks the reader early on and never lets go. The story picks up rapid momentum from the very beginning and shows little signs of slowing down all the way till the end.
I should also warn readers who are expecting a lengthy review, that this isn’t going to be one! Rather, it will be skimpy like the themes in the book. So, I’ll let readers of both books make that determination. It is said that success is usually hard to repeat and that great novels are usually followed by mediocre ones.
Having not had the opportunity yet to read his first novel make me perhaps a less biased reader of his second one. Khalid Hosseini’s new novel, “ A Thousand Splendid Suns” is his second, following the much-acclaimed first, “Kite Runner”.
