The Kite Runner Book Review

The kite runner by khaled hosseini is one of the best books i have read in years.

The kite runner book review. It s badly written hyperbolic and repetitive with one dimensional characters and antiquated social attitudes. It has been translated into 42 languages and over 30 million of its copies have been sold around the globe. It is intense and contains some graphic scenes.

They grew up together but an incident after the kite tournament changes the dynamic of their relationship. The book kite runner is mostly about the redemption. The kite runner is about the story of amir a sunni muslim that recalls a series of traumatic childhood events that he claims has defined him to be who he is.

The kite runner is my first read of khaled hosseini. Amir s father baba seems noble and strong but he disapproves of his son s emotional nature. The story relates to the lives of two boys amir and hassan growing up in kabul and narrated through the eyes of amir.

The kite runner isn t perfect. Struggling through those harsh situations they experience positive and negative consequences. The kite runner by khaled hosseini starts off really great it does not deteriorate into crap but i want to stress that it starts off really great.

But none of those things matter they conclude. It was his debut novel which made him full time author due to its great success. The story starts with amir as an adult in present day united states and then flashes back to amir s childhood in afghanistan.

I have never been to afghanistan before i imagine very few of us have but this book paints such a vivid mental image of life in kabul during the early 70s before the soviet deployment of their army there that i feel as if i have some kind of first hand experience. Guilt the kite runner is emotional and immersive a story that is amplified with its spotlight on society and culture within afganistan both past and present. The kite runner is saved from suckitude by one simple fact.
