I did not know what to expect from “The Kite Runner” when I read the back cover. I started reading hesitantly and before I knew it, I was “hooked”. Khaled Hosseini’s novel is action packed and filled with violence, ongoing conflicts, and twisted relationships between family members and friends. The reader has a chance to experience Afghan life through the eyes of two boys, one born wealthy and the other a servant. Both characters are faced with challenges which they handle very differently resulting in an outcome that changes their lives forever. This is a very timely novel given the war in Afghanistan and allows the reader to experience life through the eyes of these two best friends. I will never forget this novel and will definitely re-read it in the future. This book is a must read for everyone.
