The #1 National Bestseller Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable and beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant, is a Hazara -- a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him. The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship and betrayal, and about the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of fathers over sons -- their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But through the devastation, Khaled Hosseini offers hope: through the novel's faith in the power of reading and storytelling, and in the possibilities he shows us for redemption.

The novel kite runner was very enjoyable book being that there was enough action and twists to keep the reader hooked but alongside that the novel had well developed characters and a good story behind it that made you feel something while reading it. One thing I would have liked for them to explain was the ending. Or what happened years later. I would recommend this book but it is a little bit graphic but I would still recommend it to a mature audience.

Interesting in certain ways.
The Kite Runner is an interesting book. It's heartwarming yet controversial. It's a good read. I wouldn't recommend this book for children as the book does take a twist on a darker path. The author, Khaled Hosseini has an interesting writing style that would keep you enticed all throughout the novel. It's a great book.

Sad book
This book was emotional and sad. It was a good book but not my cup of tea. There are many lies and deaths in the book and if your looking for a happy book this is not the book for you. This book can make you see just how good you may have it in your life and country because of the social bias that is shown toward the Hazaras and the way people have to live in the book with the Taliban.

Interesting book
This book was VERY VERY in interesting. It was a sad book and a weird book. The book is ironic in many ways, when talking about lying and if you are looking for a happy book, don't read this because it is inappropriate and very sad. This book well make you grateful that you are in America and not in any other country without any freedoms.

The book was certainly not new, but it was in very good condition. I definitely am satisfied with my order.
