I think that the Kite Runner is a novel that has a lot of in depth description. It follows the life of a sunni muslim named Amir and his journey of finding his place in the world. The imagery in the first chapter can still be remembered because of how impactful it was. In my opinion, I think that the storyline is well written and the plot is developed which helps with evoking certain emotions, especially nostalgia and remorse.
Perfect angsty sad awesome beautiful book
I read this book a long time ago.....a very good book
Oh My God! This is one of my all time favorite book. What an amazing novel this is! Khaled Hosseini has actually put a lot of effort in his first novel. The language is very simple, the story is too emotional but does end with a happy note. Two friends which start their journey in Afghanistan and then Taliban takes over . There are moments in the book where there is blood, brutal deaths, sad story of Afghanistan. There are moments where you feel like crying. Worth Reading...Rating- 5/5
"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini is a tumultuous read of brotherhood, betrayal, forgiveness, violence, and everything in between. The main character, Amir, is a young boy who grew up in Afghanistan during a time of peace with his best friend, the serving boy whose father had served Amir's father before hime. In his teenage years Amir's world is turned upside down. Friendships are betrayed and lives, as well as an entire country, are thrown into violent chaos. Through all of this and into his...
What a beautifully written historical fiction. The story of Amir and Hassan told before and during the period of regime change in Afghanistan captured the turmoil and turbulence that the world was ignorant of. The rich tradition and culture of Afghanistan was seamlessly woven into the story without it reading like a history text book. Revelations after revelations were dropped nonchalantly into the story and I marvel at the simplicity and ingenuity of it. It was also a sombre read and made me th...
Although this story of an Afghan American’s life has few similarities to my own life, many themes, such as loss of innocence, guilt over inaction, family duty and systemic racism, are relatable.
The story of childhood innocence of class and rank, the sure but poignant breaking of bonds forged in childhood by the arrangement of the world by adults. Heartbreaking story of Afghanistan's modern history and the cultural laws that that can never be broken. A wonderful story, I don't want to see the film as the book is so powerful I do not want anyone elses characters rendition to impact on my own.
Read this many years ago but it still stays with me
I had to read this book in high school. It was the only one I read ahead of the class because I loved it so much. I could hardly put the book down, that good.
I took this book rather personally. I was not fond of the main character Amir. The awful treatment of individuals was hard for me to read because I've lived through much of the Taliban take-over albeit from afar. Amir loses A LOT of people in his life which made me sad for him, yet he is not completely innocent. Did he really find redemption or am I being too judgmental? It truly is a deeply haunting novel.
Excellent read.
Heart wrenching!!!
Amir is twelve years old, the son of a wealthy and well to do Afghan business man, the similarly aged Hassan is the son of the family’s low-caste servant. Both boys are motherless. The two boys have been together since birth, and as well as being a servant to Amir, Hassan is a loyal and faithful friend, they always play together and Hassan will do absolutely anything for Amir. Amir though struggles with his relationship with his father, feeling he does meets his fathers expectations, and he is j...
An amazing story about the relationship between father and son, and a boy and best friend. The struggle between admiration, loyalty, and self worth Amir deals with is heartbreaking. The Kite Runner has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. I was kept putting off reading it, thinking I would not be too interested in the story....how wrong was I? This is one of my favorites now. Strongly recommended.
really liked
