I am an Afghan student and living in Pakistan as I went to take admission in university they were asking me about Khalid Hussaini ... When I joined the university in 1st day of my university my teachers asked me about Hussaini then I m impressed and I went to Google about him now I watched this video.... I am so happy that my country has such like a great author and I think now this person will be my role model.....
He writes different, so well he makes you forget your world and get into his. I know it'll never happen, but if he ever set foot in Kenya, I am paying to just see him.
I remember reading the kite runner some years ago and how tormented i felt, i am re reading it again now and it is such kind of novels that touch my heart and get me reflecting on what it really means to be human!
@@btsfangirl3087 It is just something. It makes you more compassionate. Kudos to you on reading it a second time, I wouldnt dare for all the tears I shed.
Hosseini, thank you so much for all that you have shared through your books. And yes, I agree that so much of the sorrow in the world is in fact a shared human experience. I always keep looking forward to your next boook... And the next... And the next. :-) Cheers!
I was reading "A thousand splendid suns" and thought Khaled was a woman, I was happy thinking it's a woman, it made sense. Anyway, I still think the dude is a mega talented story teller. Big up bro.
Mli Dube - although his stories are fiction there lay many truths. Being from Afghanistan I can imagine there being many stories similar to that of Kite Runner.
I'm a big fan of Mr. Hosseini, but curiously enough, I have never seen the movie made of The Kite Runner, simply because I don't want to spoil the images that I have in my mind of all the descriptions of the storyline. You know how some movies made out of bestsellers destroy the story by making it "more Hollywood " to make it a Box Office moneymaker. The story is very sad and moving and I prefer to stay with that, just the written story. I noted that Mr. Hosseini uses the expression "...a thousand" something, as if it is a common usage in the middle east. I read it in the Kite Runner one boy Hassan tells Amir "for you, a thousand times over". The title of his second book is A Thousand Splendid Suns, and so on. Sorry for this long comment, It must be that I'm on medication for back pain (Hydrocodone).
It is a common usage in the Middle East, at least in the Arab world. And Mr. Hosseini mentions our love of exaggeration lol so the hyperbole "a thousand times" is just an example.
IT IS the matter of immense pleasure for afghan,s vicinity having such author like kahlid hussani who reached the trenched tale of pashtoon afghan to all world through kite running,,,, we proud of Dr sab ,
I have read the book and seen the movie. I have to say, I really loved the movie. The actor that played Hassan will break your heart into a million pieces. Bravo
Khaled Hosseini is my favourite writer as he creates these amazing characters and pulls on my heartstrings but he never gives the reunions you wany. you might say that's real life but I have had to come out with different endings to stop myself from grieving. its taken me a while to get over one of his books and they are still all with me now. In kite runner I so felt like Hassan should know that Amir cared so much and they should see each other happily again, in thousand splendid suns I so wanted Mariam to know that her father did care, did regret and gave her the snow white and seven dwarfs in rememberance. not that just Laila did not knowing the significance, and in the mountains echoed i so needed Pari to know the meaning behind the feather, how close Abdullah and her were, that Abdullah pretty much brought her up and that nothing made either of them happier than being together and about the dog shuja and their father telling stories and their mother with pari's goodness in her. it seemed cruel that they never truly realised the truth. my one saving grace is that i believe in heaven so i say it'll b all right in the end. yes, i know its not real but when characters enter my heart they become real.
This is the first novel i have read and touched me.... i absolutely loved it there is no way in between khaleed is just mashaallah fantastic author i have ever come across. and the kite runner OMG is nice
The Kite Runner was the first book I ever read for myself, it really makes you look at things differently. Perception. Anyway, I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns a few hours ago, I also read And the Mountains Echoed... crazy good you should really read them, their all amazing :)
a truely greatest story ,a game changer for those who don't enjoy reading,brilliant story ,superbly story telling,loved the thousand splendid sons as well,thank you for your great literature.
What a well spoken Guy :) I came here right after finishing a thousand splendid suns :) So true that the country should have compassion towards newly arrived immigrants because initially they may be disconcerted in performing some very simple things. :)
I find it weird that I haven't read many books but somehow I gravitate to ones that resonate with me without having anything more than a summary on the back of the book.
I read "A thousand splendid suns" and loved it and started reading "The kite runner" They both very good books and want to read his other book. Note: I don't read but his books are so good, and I started reading because of his books. Hope he writes more in the future.
Khaled hussain i purched your book from barnes & nobil price was very sad story the movie wasnt that good because of backward country taliban patan pishawery but i liked the book more details was on that book after i finished i past to my friend in class. Thank you i just got your another of your book .keep up help those children Kurosan kabul from taliban Adamkush.
