Well if this is not sheer brilliance, I wonder what it is then. So beautifully told,so much care given to the details its almost a classic. I use the word 'almost' as according to me there is one little glitch in the basic story outline. It's that why Hassan tells his father and Rahim Khan that Amir Agah had seen the horrible act perpetrated on him by Assef when he is being shown as a boy who has unfailing loyalty, undying love towards his master, his friend Amir. I had to talk of this loophole as I would have stolen your right to know about it had I not done so. But if I forget this, then its one of the best works i have gone through and one which has perhaps etched a permanent place in my mind.

I was kinda of ify to read this book, because it was so long and I'm not really into these kind of books but I'm glad I sat down and read it. Because this book is so powerful I felt like I was in it, how it gets into full detail about what is happening. About the honor, the relationships that form a journey that Amir is taking, and it's so surprising when you learn about the many secrets of this book -- edited to remove plot spoiler --- So much is happening you want to stop reading but you can't, you keep on going like it's pulling you in. You will laugh, you will probably cry, and you won't stop reading the book, if I had to get up and go use the bathroom I took the book with me because I couldn't put down I would take it to the bathroom with me lol.

Kite Runner is an amazing story about hardships and when the Taliban took over Afghanistan and change it forever. That will effect a young boy who soon grows into a man, Amir. This powerful story starts out as Amirs as a young boy with his Hazara friend Hassan who has a hair lip or cleft lip. The live in Afghanistan in their hometown of Kabul, Amir's father, Baba as he calls him is a very respected man he set up an orphanage for all the children without parents. Baba also has a lot of honor, Amir's mother died when Amir was delivered and Hassan's mother took off after she gave birth to him, so in a way Amir and Hassan are related in that they both have lost there mothers and now both of their fathers are watching over them Hassan's father's name is Ali. Ali has polio in one of his knees so he limps around, Ali and Baba have been with each other since they were kids.

But to sum all down this was an amazing novel, nothing like you ever read so hurry and read now this is such a delightful yet melancholy mood of a book so much secrets so much surprises and so much more things that will happen - I hope you enjoy Kite Runner like I did.

In my opinion, I was first a little cautious to read this book Kite Runner because it is not normally a story that I enjoy to much. At first I didn’t like it that much because it wasn’t a type of book that I read to often and then when I started to read a little more I started getting into the book and I started liking it a lot more and all the secrets were pouring out of the book and it was just amazing I couldn’t put the book down. I had started bringing the book home and I normally take books home unless there from the public library of course, but I read it the whole time and when I got to chapter 24 I was far ahead of my class and we were not talking about thee book yet so when I had gotten home I told my dad the whole story of the book and it literally had taken me maybe an hour to tell him about. The whole story was amazing and I think other schools should read it because it shows what really goes on in Afghanistan and show the struggle even in your home town I think it’s a great book and mostly everyone in my class enjoyed the book and I think the other school’s will enjoy it to

I rate the kite runner a 3.5 because it was a good book but easy for me to read. I normally read book’s that are much longer and much more difficult to read.

The book is about Amir’s life growing up in Afghanistan, and how it shaped his life to be what is today. The book had some key details in showing us what the landscape, towns, and living condition of the people were like while the Taliban was in control., and also how the Taliban ruled Afghanistan. Khaled Hosseini being from Afghanistan he knew what to write about. The novel is about Amir, and Hassan as best friends, Hassan is always taking the blame for Amir and protecting him from bullies and getting beat up from other kids.

When the Russians invaded that was the turning point in the novel to me. Amir and Baba leave Afghanistan to go live in America to get away from the war, but years later Amir returns. For it to make since you would have to read it. It does get pretty good, but I think it needed a epilog to see what there like in the future.

The book gets pretty emotional, angry, and some other random emotions. I knew that Amir would change through out the book because he remember the winter of 1775. Hassan didn’t seem realistic to me because no one is that pure, good hearted, and so loyal that he would never go against Amir wishes. I’m 15 years old and this is a great book to read in school.

When I first started reading this book I was like “Oh great, another boring book we have to read for class,” but as I got further into the book, I couldn’t put it down. Out of 5 I would rate this book a 4.5 because it’s a big page turner. I strongly recommend it, especially since I am a sixteen year old high school student.
As you read you find out that Amir, an Afghani boy from Kabul, doesn’t have a very good relationship with his father, Baba, who is a rich Afghani. He reaches for his father’s attention and that leads to trouble in the winter of 1975. Amir’s childhood friend, Hassan, who is a Hazara and his father Ali, also had important roles in the incident in the winter of 1975.
In the beginning of the book it starts off in the present and he kind of says how his life is so different because of his childhood in Afghanistan. Then it takes you back to his childhood so you can figure out what happened in the winter of 1975. The secret Amir carries through the story makes him want to do better when he moves to California with his father. While in California he marries and is a successful writer and is happy with his life. Until a call comes from Afghanistan and he is brought back to try to do good again.
I think this would be a really good book for high school students. They should learn that they can always try and do good again, and not to give up and hold things in and talk it out with people or you will end up hurting others when you don’t want to.
If you have time to read it I definitely would this is one of those books where you connect with the characters and you cry and laugh out loud. I thought this book was amazing I loved it.

I felt the book was not the best book that I have ever ready. The topic of the book was not something that I am typically interested in. This book was about a young boy and his servant. The young boy Amir does something bad and has to go back and make up for his sin by saving a little boy. Amisr and his father move out of the country because of the war. Amir goes back because his friend calls him and tells him there is a way to be good again. He tells him that his servant has been killed and that he needs to save his servant's son. He finds the son and tries to take him back to the United States and they run into trouble. They get him back to the United States but the little boy goes into a depression and does not talk. I gave this book a rating of 3 because it was not that interesting to me. I usually enjoy thrillers or mysteries. This book was not one of those. I do believe that other people would like it.
If I were to have written this book, I would have changed the ending. The book did not go into detail on how the relationship between Amir and the little ended. If things got better or not. It left you hanging for answers. When I am reading a book I like to have a final ending. Something that makes me feel like the story is over. The only time I do not like this is if there is a sequal to the one I am reading. In that case the story line should leave you wanting to go on to the next book. It was a book that told you that you can make up for your sins.

I think that this was a wonderfully written book about life in Afghanista and how the world is different in different places. It is a fictional story with many non fictional things around it. Amir and Hassan's relationship amongst each other is beautifully nuanced. The story is written fabulously and covers a lot of ground through out the whole story. It is written exactly as if these things really happened to that person everyday of their lives. It is not real but the people in the story are almost real and they take situations that could happen in real life. The story is a great story for any class, for any teacher wanting to have a great fictional story that is easy to read and fun to read. The suspense of the story is so amazing that you will not be able to put it down once you start reading it. It contains so much stuff that your mind will keep wanting more and you will not be able to stop reading until you know the whole entire story. It is one of the greatest stories I have ever read and I would recommend it to any person that enjoys fictional stories.
