Advantages: Makes you loose weight because you can't not dance to it! Disadvantages: No version of Desert Rose (duet with Sting).
of the other man singing, as I omisplaced the booklet along time ago. But, I believe he was the singer who sang the original version of this song. As I mentioned earlier, there are bagpipes in this song, which is just a genius twist to such a song, and makes it even better.
Track 11: Parisien du Nord - This is where I usually skip back to track 1, as I think Cheb Mami's voice is so much more beautiful in Arabic, I am not keen on the French language in the musical forum. This track is trying to be a club song it is a remix of the song to follow, which in my opinion would have been better left alone.
Track 12: Marseillais du Nord - This is the original of the previous song. A lot more chilled, and dark, a much better version. French rap in the middle would not have been missed by me if it had not been included.
Track 13: Au Pays des Merveilles ...
Advantages: Strong characters and an education into the plight of women in Afghanistan Disadvantages: None
Having read the Kite Runner, I was eager to read the next work by Khaled Hosseini. Whilst I still debate with myself whether it is as good as Kite Runner, if you evaluate the book in its own right without comparing it to the author's first book, then it is truly a masterpiece.
Khaled Hosseini moves away from the Kite Runner story in this book to focus on the plight of women in Afghanistan.

Advantages: Very well written; excellent story and characters Disadvantages: Harrowing references to conflict
Set against a backdrop of conflicts in Afghanistan, Khaled Hosseini's second novel 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' is essentially the tale of two women, Mariam and the younger Laila. The blurb tells us that it concerns the friendship, 'as strong as the ties between mother and daughter', that develops between them. It is a while, however, before this friendship starts, and there is a great deal of pain and hardship both before and after its beginning.
Part One of the novel, covering a hundred pages, follows the childhood of Mariam. She is the illegitimate daughter of Nana and Jalil, one of the wealthiest men in the city of Herat. Mariam and Nana have been sent out of town to live in a kolba or simple wooden hut to avoid embarrassing Jalil, his three wives and other children. Jalil visits Mariam every Thursday, and she thinks the sun shines ...
