Thanks for realizing the beauty in this book and sharing it with all of us! Plus this helped me on a project, although I wish you had page numbers!

you really highlighted the words that jumped into my heart while reading this book !!

You're right. It is incredibly maudlin and hackneyed.

These quotes are like the most important from the book. If I could I would be able to do an essay on each one. Khaled Hossein is a true artist. He is able to take a few words and make beautiful poetry out of it. Even for some of my personal friendships I think about these quotes to see what kind of person I am.

khaled hossein really proved himself to be a good writter and these quotes are the very essence of the novel.

some of the worst quotes ever, this would have worked much better as a negative review..

Wow love the quotes. I've read his other book, "a thousand splendid suns" it's amazing I advise all to read!!

""Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors." Geez. What is that even supposed to mean? Pseud-lyrcial cheesiness

Good job with the quotes. I had forgotten these. Nice. Important thoughts.

Love the quotes. I was just sitting at work the other day thinking of this book. I must've read it about a year ago, but it still creeps up in my thoughts.

I am not cynical. I love beautiful writing. This just wasn't. It was actually a textbook example of bad writing.

I was humming and hawing about putting this on my to-read list. Thanks to this review, I know now I definitely won't.

If I was to write a review of a book that I gave as many stars to as you did I would want to be able to quote the whole book not just sentences here and there.

I have read the Kite Runner and I would never recommend it to anyone unless I really didn't like them!

In between the 'beautiful' quotes you have picked out there is nothing but terrible cliches, foreshadowing that is so obvious that it feels as though you're being hit around the head with it, and writing that is so heavy-handed and clumsy that it feels as though a child has written it.

I agree with you Britta; this book was wonderful & you have included some great quotes from it

Britta, I agree with Virgie and urself. I still havent finished the book but we have to admit it is capturing and the quotes u chose r beautiful. =)

Are these quotes you like? Some are crap.
The author needs practice.

Thanks for this list of incredibly trite, hackneyed quotes. Definitely won't waste my time with this pap. Cheers!

I've read the book a year ago and reading the quotes reminded me of how I fell in love with the story.

i didnt read the book yet, but these quotes are beautiful ! it gave me courage to open it and read it now !!

Yes, courage is what you need to start reading it. LOL.

Thanks for the best quotes from this amazing book!

thank you for these, I think some people forget english was his second language.
