"Rahim Kahn had been wrong about the mean streak thing" (pg. 23)
" "Well," I began. But I never got to finish that sentence. Because suddenly Afganistan changed forever." (pg. 34)
"Because that was the winter that Hassan stopped smiling." (pg. 47)
"Then I knocked on Baba's door and told what I hoped ould be the last in a long line of shameful lies." (pg. 104)
These are some of the sentences that end a few of the beginning chapters of the book. Hosseini somehow ties in what he is saying and brings about something new and random that keeps the reader moving forward. These transitions leave the reader wanting more and they keep the reader from setting the book down. Suspense is somthing that every book needs to have to keep the reader engaged. Hosseini does this well by placing suspense in his transitions from chapter to chapter. Sometimes there are sections to the chapters and suspense can be found there too. This book jumps around so much and transitions from place to place so quickly that it always keeps the erader on their toes.
This book doesn't have a common plot, so the reader can't truly infer what will happen next. That is what makes this book so interesting.
