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.

An amazing, informative, captivating and heartfelt read about a young boy in the turbulence and chaos of recent Afghanistan. You can just feel the cultural impacts. I understood so much more about this culture and its history. A 10 for me.
