The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
5.0
My Thoughts
I don't think I felt many emotional into one book before in my life, until I came across the kite runner.I was a little sceptical when I was starting this book. I heard many great things from this author and can be emotionally draining when you read his novels. Now, for me to cry over a novel is almost never the case. However, this novel has broken that barrier.
The novel is told in the perspective of adult Amir in which he recalls back to his childhood.It begins with young Amir who plays a popular sport tournament in Afghanistan, known as: the Kite Runner. He gets help from his best friend Hassan as he's not much of a sport person.His love is more toward creative writing and poetry.However, a certain event changes both their lives forever.
Amir is an interesting character , we see him in the beginning of the novel as a weak, coward and selfish person that you can't help but hate him. However, he goes through such a character development toward the end that you almost think. Is this actually Amir?
Hassan, a true hero and my favourite character. every tear, every laughter was mainly toward this person. Such a strong character, even if he was thrown down the pits of sorrow he always picks himself up. A person that is so brave and so loyal to his friend.
Every page I turned there was a horrific scene that will tore my heart into pieces. when I thought I couldn't take these emotional any more,then came the broken child. This child was the final draw that touched my feelings even deeper then before.
Such a remarkable and beautiful story. If your a fan of historical fiction with huge character development and very emotional scenes then check this novel out.
