Sad, I know. I did enjoy the Kite Runner a lot...

I'm nervous because I loved his first two, so this one might be a bit of a let-down, but an OK book from him is probably better than most great books from other authors, so I'm still very hopeful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-18176271519142627512013-08-06T12:49:12.312-04:002013-08-06T12:49:12.312-04:00I started the audio and I'm not loving it afte...I started the audio and I'm not loving it after the tale has been told.

I loved his first two, but the plot is meandering and I don't really care what happens next. The fact you aren't raving about the amazing ending is making me think I should just give up. Two outstanding books is more than enough for one author. My expectations were too high for this one. :-(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-74759712243189396342013-08-06T09:06:00.025-04:002013-08-06T09:06:00.025-04:00This was my first experience with Hosseini but has...This was my first experience with Hosseini but has made me want to read more of his work.

The rest of it went downhill for me.
