I found Miriam's story unremittingly depressing. I was ready to slit my wrists after 40 pages. I had to read the book for my book club so I persisted, hoping that there would be some hope, some redeeming feature. Nope. It appeared to me that this book was Miriam's story, and her story alone, but that it was such a hopeless, dreary tale that the story of the younger woman, which had some measure of happiness, had to be tacked on to make the book marketable.
 It will make your heart sing May 4, 2008
I will be brief - if you are not sure about whether or not you want to read this book - do not hesitate. It transports you to another world - makes you take these women into your heart and then your heart will sing despite the bittersweet aspects to the story. It is really wonderful - defines what a good book really is.
you have nothing to complain about May 4, 2008
this is a wonderful book that took me into the lives of two women who overcome so much just to survive in a dismal society. i cannot ever think that i have a hard life or anyone i know for that matter after reading this. i have also read the kite runner and think this is a better book.

This is one of the best books I have read in the past years!
He is one of the best writters outthere now days!
Best book I've read in twenty years! May 3, 2008
I could not put this book down! The relationship between the two women is beautifully written. The tragic story is outweighed by the optimistic spirit. This was more than a good book. It is an instant classic that should be cherished for decades. I'm so thankful I took the time to read A Thousand Splendid Suns.
