A review by iordanmoore
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

A book that is at times beautiful and gut wrenching, sometimes achieving both at the same time. A story of doomed friendship and brotherhood, it is filled with themes and messages that will stay with me long after I have finished this book. “For you a thousand times over”
