Not too difficult to understand as far as a theory book goes. Much more fun to read when you have an Israeli ethicist who learned to speak English in Germany with whom to discuss it.

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.

Funny in places--a very repellent protagonist, though.

The most powerful and troubling book I've read in a long time. I started reading it while I was overseas but had to put it down. It was too emotionally intense. Roth manages to drag every possible drop of feeling from most pages.

Loved this book! I watched the movie first. It really doens't do any justice. The book blows it away.

This book would be perfect for a high school American history teacher to assign as summer reading to students in order to prepare them for the class: It's historically meticulous but as literature it's more than a little bit drab. You've got to appreciate the effort and work that Rutherfurd put into the book, but at times his writing (especially the dialogue, which can be sometimes cheesy in its attempts to be historically accurate and sometimes wildly and obviously anachronistic) just isn't very good.

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I read this, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The book is very poorly written and the storyline, while there was a very small glimmer of potential, did not satisfy my tastes. I understand that many vampire novels deal with sexuality, but Meyers' story was over-sexualized to the point of creepiness. I can't stand Bella, who is a self-insert Mary-Sue (really? SMeyer wants to be her); we all have confidence issues, especially at her age, but her constant whining went over the line into the realm of annoying and obnoxious. It's difficult for me to enjoy a book if I despise the main character, the supposed protagonist, and I despised Bella. The rest of the cast was no different. Did you know vampires sparkle? Maybe he's born with it... maybe it's Maybelline.

In fairness, I should probably not review this book, as I technically didn't read it through. I got to the middle of this book but it was irritating me. I really was hopeful that this one would be better than Tunnels (which had some good action and lots of potential, but fell flat). I am afraid to say it wasn't. The dust jacket says they are making it into a movie, so I figured it must be a fairly good book. But they made InkHeart into a movie, and I didn't care much for that either. I just can't invest in these characters and the plot just doesn't compel me to keep reading. Sorry.

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.
