    Khaled Hosseini says he was "bludgeoned" by the images of a Syrian toddler who drowned alongside most of his refugee family while attempting to cross to Greece. His new book, "Sea Prayer," captures the heartbreak of the Syrian refugee crisis.https://n.pr/2DnjU5d

        The most moving books I’ve ever read have been those of @khaledhosseini. A rollercoaster of emotions from love and laughter to fear and despair. “Sea prayer” is on my list. Preparing myself for a lot of mixed emotions. You sir, bravo.

        This guy is a capitalist opportunist - he steals poor and miserable people’s life stories and sells it to the liberal west. He makes money, the readers get their fix of misery from a distance, the drowning refugees will continue to drown until the situation in Syria is rectified

        This is one of the dumbest takes I've ever stumbled across. Do you have ANY idea of the humanitarian work Hosseini has done?!

        You’re a customer of his I suppose. I’m only going to reply once because you appear to be a worthless consumer: Steal homeless people’s hardship and misery and use it to make money off people like you-then give a fraction of it to charity-then the charity delivers about 10% of it
