I must admit that I had some trepidation in starting this novel, along with hope and excitement. Hosseini's first book, "The Kite Runner" is quite truthfully, one of the best novels I have ever had the pleasure of reading and I can state most elatedly that "A Thousand Splendid Suns" will take it's place amongst those stories that I cherish. I was apprehensive in starting this book simply because I was worried that I would be disappointed; that it would not be clearly as heart wrenchingly good as "The Kite Runner". I can't say whether it touched me more or less, but it absolutely broke my heart and restored my understanding and faith in the greater human good all at once. I could not put this book down. A tale of tragedy, sacrifice and sadness but surmised hope. His apt weaving of love, war, & kinship leave nothing of want. The relationships between Jalil and Mariam, Mariam and Laila, and finally Laila and Tariq are well developed and leave you with great empathy and understanding of each of them and a profound sadness overall. I believe that he has opened up a window to both the Muslim faith and Afghanistan that many Westerners would never have known and has given his people a face and heart that may go unnoticed or misunderstood at best in a time when the state of the world leaves much to the imagination thanks to terrorism, war and the dehumanization of innocent people everywhere who are caught in the middle of such mess. It has reminded me to be grateful for what I have and where I live, when others do not have such luxury. Khaled Hosseini has a gift in storytelling and I anxiously await his next novel and have the utmost confidence that he will deliver another companion to his other books on mine (and thousands of others) favourites shelves.

This book is definitely essential reading if you have any kind of interest at all in either WWII, or the agency which individual people can have within a totalitarian system. Inside the Third Reich is a lengthy - in my edition, seven hundred pages, not including notes, bibliography or index - memoir written by Albert Speer, focusing on the years between 1933 and 1945 when he was Hitler's architect, his Minister of Arms and Munitions, and probably one of the closest things Hitler had to a friend. At many points it's not an easy book to read - not because Speer goes into any detail about the mass killings or the conditions in the concentration camps, but because of the detail which he goes into about the construction and requisition projects which formed so much of his work at the time, the repetitive ways in which he documents tea-time with Hitler. In some ways I think this is one of the most important features of the book. You get to see the sheer banality of the regime, the statistics and demographics which make up such a large chunk of the book showing off the bureaucracy of the Third Reich which was not so very different from many other western countries at the time, or since. His observations on Hitler's personality, his initial hero-worship for him, and his gradual later disillusionment, are truly fascinating to read about. Hitler is shown, not as a madman or as an evil mastermind, but as an actual person; the descent into delusion and denial in later life is made all the more dramatic by how almost-normal he seemed in the earlier part of the book. Speer does express regret in the book for the crimes which the Nazi regime committed, and for his part in them. This is not something which he came to realise over the course of writing his memoirs - from the Nuremberg trials, we do have footage of him striking his breast and saying mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Something, perhaps, of a realisation of the wrongs of the regime had already occurred to him from 1944 on, as shown by his attempts to block some or all of the scorched earth policy which Hitler tried to adopt in the last few desperate months of the war. However, I find it really and truly hard to believe that Speer was ever truly as naive and unaware as he was presented as being in the book, or that he was devoted to all the aims of Nazism with the exception of its racist ideologies. He certainly wasn't involved directly in any of the mass murder, but he did make use of slave labour in his construction projects and in the munition factories which he ran. He may have been described by others as the 'respectable Nazi'; but respectable or not, he was still a Nazi, who either found the racial policies of the regime acceptable, or capable of being ignored. Perhaps he didn't know; perhaps he didn't want to know, consciously or unconsciously. With an auto-biographical memoir of this nature and on this topic, it is hard to be certain. I think the only thing one can do is to read the book oneself, and make up one's own mind.
