We all make mistakes, and we all have regrets. Life is so complicated, but we can learn from these things and forgiveness is such a precious gift. The Kite Runner is a story of intense friendship, and struggle. It's heart wrenching and heart warming at the same time. A story about self reflection and growth and what it means to be alive.

Listened tot his on CD before reading the book. i enjoyed it, even though at times it was hard to read (subject matter). Great author with good character development, conflict, etc.
