I've heard so much about this book prior to reading it. Thankfully I managed to avoid watching the film adaptation as well. It is indeed a very well written book. The prose is excellent, as is the character development and plot progression. Was it a huge tearjerker like so many of my friends described it to be? I say it depends on what kind of literature you've been exposed to already. The only part that really made me cry is the part where Sohrab tries to kill himself. For the rest of the book I was so preoccupied with feeling mad at Amir that I kept having to pause my reading because I was getting so upset at him. The tone of the story reminds me of A Fine Balance. However, I must say that The Kite Runner, despite having a powerful message, felt like it aimed to be a best-seller, while A Fine Balance is an astute and profound observation of the cruelties of life and the people who live it.

Such a beautiful yet heart breaking book. Certainly one of the best. To be read with tissues nearby.

For those readers who have ever been haunted by a decision, even if it had been made in an instant and decades before, you will understand having to deal with regret much like the protagonist Amir has in "The Kite Runner." Hosseini's characters and their actions ring so true that it is inevitable that it will make the readers remember their own successes and failures. Highly recommended.

”Mitt liv var så gott. Jag undrade om jag förtjänat det.”
Flyga drake är en fristad för oss som jagats av det som gör oss till dåliga människor. Ironiskt nog mer så än Khaled Hosseinis Tusen stålande solar, som var min faktiska fristad då jag fick min dom. ”Den som inte har något samvete, som saknar godhet, lider inte.” Jag läste fel bok vid fel tillfälle helt enkelt.
