A review by the_schaef
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

5.0

All of us have issues that we regret from our past. All of us have complex relationships and disappointments with our parents at some point when we see their imperfections. The author writes a wonderful story of intense personal conflict in a disastrous situation, and created a hugely personal and emotional encounter that we can all relate with. I was shocked more than once by turns of events and had a full cry several times. When an author is able to render such strong emotions, it is the sign of an excellent story. This is a great story to get in touch with ourselves and to also have a better appreciation for the terror and destruction that the Taliban created.
