A beautifully poignant story. Riveting and deeply touching at once, a book that will not be forgotten.
This book spans nearly four decades, and in doing so, tells the story of modern Afghanistan along with the story of unlikely childhood friends, Amir and Hassan, one a member of the social elite, they other a member of a much hated minority. With elements of family, friendship, betrayal, and loss, the effects of violence, and ultimately the search for redemption, the Kite Runner's layers run deep. Hosseini is a gifted writer, and I look forward to reading other work by this author.
This book is destined to be a favorite of many readers.

I love Hosseini's confrontation with pivotal issues. Paramount Vantage, postponed the release date back 6 wks in an attempt to ensure the safety of the young actors in the film.( Kite Runner Movie )It is a shame that the very topics Hosseini discusses are still, present today - so much so that a mere indie film could potentially cause drastic ramifications in the Afghan community.
