"The book has some stuff on the making of the movie. It has great photos too. Most of the book is the shooting script. I would have given it five stars if it had some more info on the making of the movie. Interesting book though."
"I liked this book because men and women can both enjoy it. What I didn't like was that the ending was a bit Hollywood, perfect happy ending-ish. The entire first 75% of the book was wonderful!"
"untuk membuat sebuah cerita yang tragis...BRAVO!!! Penulis berhasil!!! Untuk membuat cerita yang menyentuh....BRAVO!!! He did it! Tapi sayang penulis adalah seorang PENCURI (pencuri kebenaran, pencuri fakta dari keadaan yang sebenarnya) Hati-hati buku ini adalah sebuah konspirasi, sebelum baca sebaiknya siapkan tameng, agar tidak tercuci otak kita. Semua orang yang taat digambarkan oleh penulis adalah orang yang kejam, sebaliknya orang yang sekuler adalah orang yang baik. not recommended to read!"
"Setelah selesai membaca 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' nya karya Khaled Hosseini , lantas aku tertarik pula untuk membaca buku perdananya yaitu 'The Kite Runner'.
Untungnya Jenk Ine yg baik hati - salah satu teman penggila buku bersedia meminjamkan buku tsb (eh tukeran dink kala sabtu kemarin). Tak pernah kusangka negara Afghanistan memiliki penulis berkualitas.
Ditengah kelamnya perjalanan bangsa itu lahirlah karya-karya tulis yang begitu mengiris hati dengan bertemakan nila-nilai kemanusiaan yang dinodai , dikhianati bahkan dihancurleburkan.
Kerasnya kehidupan yang dialami manusia-manusia afghan tak lah lantas menyurutkan daya dan semangat hidup mereka.Dalam buku perdana nya (yang tidak setragis buku ke dua) Khaled merindukanku akan kehadiran teman / sahabat yang benar-benar dapat diandalkan.
Tak berlebihan kiranya , bila saat itu Ine melafazkan kalimat tenar yang begitu berjiwa dimana menjadi ruh isi buku : 'Untukmu , keseribu kalinya' - "For you, a thousand times over" yang membuatku sempat bergidik bila meresapinya. Sebuah pengabdian yang tulus. Rahasia yang mesti dijaga rapat demi menjaga martabat nama baik keluarga. Penyesalan yang kerap menghantui hampir separuh jalan hidup si pembuat dosa.Kesempatan yang datang untuk menebus kesalahan fatal , kesemua itu adalah sub-sub poin yang menyentuh hati nuraniku.
Gaya tulis Khaled Hosseini termasuk halus dan cukup kaya akan kejutan. Ia suka bermain dengan time frame yang cukup panjang, melompat dan mengulang. Tokoh-tokoh utama sarat akan nilai pembelajaran dimana sangat membuka wacana untuk membuka diskusi karakter dan berpotensi pula menciptakan keriangan bunga imajinasi liar dalam hal menentukan pengembangan alur kehidupan sang tokoh utama sebagai rekreasi kepuasan setelah membaca ;)
Pengkotak-kotakan derajat seseorang dikarenakan silsilah yang bertingkat pada satu sisi memasung keadilan dengan mengklaim sebagai hak ekslusif manusia tertentu yang dengan lancangnya merampok hak asasi Kuasa Ilahi.manusia..oh..manusia"
