A review by pitrakl
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

4.0

I love how Hosseini creates characters that I connect with almost instantly, even if I have very little in common with them. At the same time, through the fiction you are able to learn about culture and history. I really enjoyed reading this book, although I did prefer A Thousand Splendid Suns. I found myself able to sympathize with the characters in that book a little bit more, and because they stayed in Afghanistan during the turmoil, it was also more insightful into the history.
