I was fourteen when I first read Hosseini's novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and many scenes have been sharply embedded in my mind ever since. It is an unbearably poignant story and the first book that sparked my interest in literature. Hosseini's writing is simple but loaded with sensory details and graphic war descriptions, giving the reader the sense of being physically present in Afghanistan and eliciting their sorrow and sympathy.
Year by year and book by book, I have read his words, every time held in complete awe and admiration for their beauty, content, and truth. With his emotionally lacerating depiction of the characters' predicaments, I could feel a growing sense of anxiety gnawing at my stomach as I read his stories. I shared the ordeals his characters face and felt their desolation and hopelessness.
In addition to his terse prose and impactful storytelling skills, I also admire his approach to creating literature. To him, a background is a background and a means to an end, never the theme or the end itself. His vision is always focused on humanity—the fundamentals of human nature, the problems, and aspects of characters that apply to any age and any country. War, destruction, violence, and despair are common background elements in Hosseini's novels, whereas humanity, faith, hope, and salvation are the prominent themes. His stories are directed by events that feature the theme, and every event is an instance of human fortitude and preoccupation with survival during violent, tortured, agonized moments.
Hosseini conveys a fundamental truth: love is hard and often accompanied by heartache, yet it is also a source of strength that enables us to confront the eternal conundrums of life with courage and stoicism. Love, despite its intrinsic beauty and power, is susceptible to extrinsic environmental factors; it is therefore too precarious and too agonizing to bear in the war-ravaged landscape of Afghanistan. The omnipresence of death during wartime turns it into a potentially destructive weapon, putting the characters through the anguish of departure and separation. Despite this, they never cease to love.
I believe it is his intransigent belief in humanity that makes his stories universally appealing. More than many other contemporary novelists, he represents the resilience and strength of love in desperate times.

Very well written! I've never heard of this author, but your description makes me think I should pick up one of his books for myself!

Nothing wrong with what you wrote, just giving an alternative! Nicer to use more specific vocab like "novel" when possible (but you already do this elsewhere!)
Hosseini's writing is simple but loaded, yet overflowing with sensory details and graphic war descriptions, giving the reader the sense of being physically present in Afghanistan and eliciting their sorrow and sympathy.
small changes! Good vocab overall
Year by year and book by bookTime and time again, I have read his words, every time held in complete awe and admiration for their beauty, content, and truth.
I like your original, but I do think that the "year by year" and "book by book" are a bit clunky/repetitive. It's VERY emphatic, which could be your intention, so I made it a bit less so.

Again, just a precise word choice that sums up what you wanted to say , though there was nothing incorrect in your original sentence.

I'm not sure what you're referring to with "it"?

I appreciate the variety and complexity of the vocabulary you used! Stylistically, it could be seen as a bit over the top, but maybe that's just how much you like Hosseini's work~! Maybe I should read his books too...
