Additionally, I think that Kite Runner pairs very well with A Thousand Splendid Suns in showing how the Taliban affected life across gender, class, and ethnicity.

The writing was so good, the characters were amazing, and the historical part of the book was facinating. The story was just as sad as everyone says it is. A few chapters in particular were hitting me very hard --- expect to cry while reading this.
Fair warning: there is quite a bit of cursing, some intense violence, and very difficult topics are dealt with.
