The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini - 5* and <3

[Elise]

Amir is a young Afghan boy in the 1970s, when Afghanistan was still a happy place, full of childish fun and kites. He is Pashtun, and his best friend is Hassan, his family's Hazara servant. While they're still children, Amir does something to Hassan - or rather, doesn't do something - that forever breaks apart the two boys and changes the course of their lives forever.

I won't say more, because frankly I went into the book now knowing a thing about it, and it was wonderful. It was beautiful. I was crying by the end because it was so beautiful, and that is the mark of a great book. I can't believe I waited this long to read this book, but I don't regret it one bit.

Hosseini is a wonderful writer.

Thanks for the review! I haven't read this book yet. Knowing nothing about it, I haven't exactly been motivated to move it to the top of my list, but I may have to make an effort to find it.
