A review by poirots
The Kites by Romain Gary

5.0

At the start of reading this book, I would've given it a three-star rating. The beginning was mediocre and I thought of Ludo's romance with Lila to be petty and immature. However, things change and - just like it did historically - this novel and its characters' true natures were revealed through times of vigorous hardship and years of suffering. 'The Kites' is really a five-star book in my opinion.
