My Review of a thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini

 

My God.

*Stares in space for a few minutes*

This book.

This book is as crazy as it is eye opening. Oh my God.

I love women more than I've ever loved them, I hate 99.5 percent of the men in this book. Christ.!

And the saddest part is that women still suffer everything the women in the book went through.

Damn it.

I hate the world.

This is so unfair, what happened to Mariam was so unfair, and what happened to Laila so very unfair.

They suffered so much, they knew pain and affliction first hand, their free will was taken away from them, they didn't even have any tangible human right.

They were treated like lesser humans, treated like dirt (at this point even dirt had more value than them) they didn't have any other purpose in life except procreation. shooting out children like a machine shooting out baseballs.

 Even that was painful and they passed through immense pain.The stupid men were treated like kings. 

I cried for them, cried for Laila that only wanted to finish school, make something out for herself and be with the love of her life.

I cried for Mariam, that only wanted her father's love and acknowledgement but was thrown to the wolves.

I cried for the other women, that had to deliver without proper healthcare facilities, without anesthesia, without proper surgical tools or equipments. 

You'd think they would offer them the bare minimum, but no! This women were treated so unjustly.

They suffered before bringing a child to the cursed world only for the child to be rebuked if it was a girl and treated like it's poop was made of gold if it was a boy.

I pray all the men in the book rot in hell for all eternity. I pray satan takes special care of them and makes sure they never see a moment of peace in their time in hell.

 Moment of peace ke? I pray they forget what peace means, what it looked or felt like. 

These women passed through hell (literally) they passed through hell and back.

This is an eye opener of what women have been going through,. Of that they're STILL going through.

Like Malala Yousafzai once said "we realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced " .

My heart bleeds for Mariam, she deserved more, she deserved more than more. A whole lot.

She had sooo much love in her heart to give out but she's never received love in her life.

To avoid giving out too much spoilers, this review is going to end here.

But one thing, I think this book is a book everybody needs to read. It's enlightening and opens your eyes to things you either overlooked or didn't know it even existed.

I'm going to go sit down, stare into space and think about my life and how I can make a difference.

Adios.
