The kite runner is a book which broke my heart and i have never said that about any book ever.If this review gives you the impression that it is an altogether depressing read, then it isn't.
The one word I would describe about the kite runner is 'alive'. It is so alive that the characters,Kabul,the scenes everything just creeps its way into your heart and leaves you at times very very very guilty anxious happy and finally with redemption.
It shows you the innocence that you once had..it shows you the mirros,not just the good innocent part,but the envy ,the meanness the little guilty fantasies and a childhood.and no it doesn't show you as a second person..it's almost like your heart is breaking with Hassan..the plot surely has parts which are very predictable but that doesn't make you put the book aside but rather makes you see it through to the last word..I would recommend that you read this book to all the readers out there...
"For you a thousand times over Hassan..."♥️
