I wept like a child reading this book. Khaled Hosseini makes writing seem effortless; his prose is absolutely beautiful. The Kite Runner is the most visually stunning, profound, and memorable book I have ever read. My heart aches and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.

Amazing, I really have no idea what to else to say than WOW! the storytelling is immersive and you immediately get sucked into the storyline.

Read this book for an English assessment, and unlike the usual ”boring and outdated“ books I was forced to analyse, Hosseini knows how to take your breath away and keep your eyes glued to the book. As a child of immigrants I could relate to certain aspects of the story as well.
