The Kite Runner

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

I could not put this book down! I really, really, enjoyed this read. It definitely invoked so many emotions. It touched on themes of loyalty, love, betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness. I was reminded that grace should always be extended to others, regardless of who the world thinks is deserving.

This was an amazing book and a great read!
ťažká téma, ktorá sa čítala rýchlo, rozbeh deja pomerne zdĺhavý, ale stálo to za to!

That once upon a time - in my lifetime - life in Afghanistan was nothing like it seems to be now. I should have known that but I didn't pay enough attention to world history back then. It's a well-written book and a powerful story.
