Week 2 Post B

Dear Khaled Hosseini,

You never cease to amaze me with your writing talent. I have already read your first book, The Kite Runner, and so far your second book has lived up to all of the standards of your first book and more. The thing that I like most about the books are the unexpected events that keep me glued to the book. I have read many books where the authors make pitiful attempts at suspense and surprise twists but you have a way at making the story flow even when there is a life shattering event. The use of foreign words also adds to the book. Besides the obvious "makes it more authentic" purpose, I feel that it demonstrates your knowledge as well as your experience when your write about these topics. I feel as if I can trust you and take your word when you talk about some tragic events that happen in Afghanistan.
