A review by hilom
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

challenging dark emotional hopeful sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

This is the book that got me into reading. I've read it over 8times (as I do with all my favourite books) and I've shed tears all 8 times. It's just the way the characters are written that gets you unwittingly emotionally invested in them, to the point that you can't ever let go of it, atleast not entirely. The plot like the characters, is beautiful in a bittersweet way but yeah it's perfect as it is and it'll make you cry a lot but it'll also make you giddy and happy; it's worth reading over and over again.
