A review by ellaep
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

4.0

This story is gorgeous, important, and real, but honestly I found it so difficult to read. Because this is a super famous novel, I didn't even think to check for content warnings but I definitely should have! But the biggest difficulty for me was the main character. The MC is meant to be a flawed character, I understand that, but the knowledge that it's deliberate doesn't change how hard it was to be stuck in his head. He is a selfish, insecure, coward, and I hated him<3. I like to read because I get to completely understand another person, but with this story I honestly wish I knew less.
