The Kite Runner - A Review

Last week, I got a chance to read a captivating book by Khaled Hosseini, called the Kite Runner. The story revolves around two characters : Amir and Hassan, and portrays the gratitude that Hassan has towards his master and friend, Amir. It covers every bit of emotion in both these characters. The plot begins with Kabul, and the happy days of Kabul during the monarchy there. It talks about the fall of the monarchy, and how it affected the lives of people there. And amidst this curfew, the author unfolds the story of Hassan and Amir. Amir flees Kabul with his dad due to the curfew and finds abode in America. They abandon their luxurious home and business in Kabul, and make living in America in a small Afghan colony. The climax of the story when Amir goes back to Kabul in search of (I wont tell you this) is the most heart rendering part of the book.

Once in hand, the book becomes so intriguing that its hard to keep away from reading it.Its the most captivating, emotional, tearful story I've read in recent times, and I would easily rate it a nine on ten . I am waiting to catch the movie which released last december in UK.
