![]() ![]() This book has made me realize that Afghanistan also has been home & happiness for many and has given them good and bad memories like all of us with ours. I had many assumptions about this book before and when I started reading it. ![]() ![]() The Kite Runner makes you think for not just the characters but for yourself over your faults when you were a child and felt that you were too small or immature to be able to correct that mistake or even face it just like it helped me forgive and comfort my younger self. ![]() The characters became real to me, and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world. Similarly, I became attached to Hassan and his family. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. It tells of Amir's childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. The Kite Runner looks at how Amir deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. The story revolves around the main narrator “Amir”. The facts that my life is worlds different from theirs and that my perceptions of Afghanistan are those that are often stereotypical and stained by negative media. I’ve read a lot of books with a variety of genres and this is the first time a book of fiction based on true events has made me feel a sense of deep connection to the characters regardless of two facts. Hosseini’s The Kite Runner has moved me beyond words. This book has been recommended to me by many of my friends and now I understand why. ![]()
