Lies. Love. Loyalty. Respect. War. Betrayal. Redemption.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (371pp) has it all .
There are many words to describe this book. Powerful, haunting, moving, innovative, astounding.
As I read this book, the sheer power of the emotion in the words had me laughing at some points, crying at others. On some pages, my heart jumped into my throat. On others, it nearly beat its way out of my chest.
The Kite Runner was so visual, so emotive, that I felt like I was right there with Amir through all his pain and guilt.
In the late 1900s, Afghanistan was thrown into turmoil. The Kite Runner is about two boys who grew up in Kabul during this time, their friendship, and their hearts.
There is so much to get from this book. Not only does the reader learn a little about the culture of Afghanistan and the country's recent history, but they learn about bravery, loyalty, and redemption.
