marizzla 's review for:

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
5.0
challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

this single-handedly ruined me for days. i will be sobbing for the next few weeks.

from the very first chapter on, i knew i would come to love this book. khaled hosseini has a way with words that truly stuns me. his prose is beautiful.
on top of that, he strings characters together so achingly perfect. amir is such a complex character that after all you can't help but feel sympathy for. i need not get started on hassan. 

a truly gorgeous book about the complexities of friendship, the echoing effects of the choices you made, and the ever-haunting guilt that grips your throat for decades later.
