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.
I sat down to read this one and quickly realized I'd already read it pre-Goodreads days. I thought I was just remembering so much of it from the film. Beautiful novel.
My God was this heartbreaking. I've been wanting to read this since I saw it came out and Ive bought 3 copies but I just knew this was going to be one of those books that's painfully beautiful. I think this is one of those books everyone should read to witness the power of words on a page!
