I can understand why some critics call Hosseini's books a little too contrived. There is no doubt while reading that all of the stories will be wrapped up with a bow in the end. (Not that the ending will be a happy one.) They even feel a little predictable at times. But, honestly, I don't care. I love the stories he tells. He weaves together tales of multiple generations all over the world (mostly set in his home country of Afghanistan) and they are absolutely enthralling and most often heartbreaking. This is one that gave me a book hangover. I had to wait a good 24 hours before I could start another. I loved it.
