I read The Kite Runner and it was very moving, but not as good as A Thousand Splendid Suns. The Kite Runner centers around a single event and one person's lifelong reaction to it, whereas A Thousand Splendid Suns is more of a journey and you have to keep reading to see where everything connects. It also seemed more human to me and less of a far-fetched story. I haven't seen the movie, but I can imagine it doesn't do the book justice, as so few movies do.
