The Kite Runner

Khaled Hosseini

I found this book difficult to put down while reading it, and impossible to forget when done. It is an emotional tale that will sway your feelings about family, friendship and honor. The psychological portraits of father, son, and friend are insightfully drawn and emotionally provocative. It is a story about a country and culture in transition: Afghanistan before and after the monarchy. Do I need to add that it is well written?
