Pakistani Readers discussion

And the mountains echoed was the book with the majority vote for July :) so happy reading.

Read!

Zenab, I was kind of leaning towards 3 stars as well, but by the end, it had gone up to 4, mainly because I still liked the main story. Here's my review: (It does not contain any spoilers)

Curious if other agree or disagree. I think the reason Hosseini is one of my favorite authors is that despite the negatives, his writing has the power to stay with you.

^i more or less agree with the review. it is a very good read, a very compelling story however, I would have liked to know what happens to Adel and Gholam as they grew up. These and some other characters were left un-addressed

Yes I agree. It is the issue of incomplete resolution, and also the feeling of having read many short stories rather than one novel. The strongest aspect was the brother-sister bond between Abdullah and Pari, but perhaps only a quarter of the book was about them.

I guess im the only one here who have read all novels of Hosseni except this new one.. :(
