The book was slow. The last few chapters were good, but the beginning and middle could have been.cut back to keep my interest. The morals and the history were the best o arts of the book.

This was an awesome read! I remember reading The Kite Runner in high school, but couldn't remember much about it.

OMG I love this book. It broke my heart repeatedly. Hassan has to be one of the greatest characters ever, a true angel. I love Amir's journey even though it was so painful. This is a book that needs to be read by everyone. Beautiful, beautiful, wonderful story.

I read this novel with low expectations since I generally don’t like these types of novels. Unfortunately, this novel barely met even my low expectations. The Kite Runner is basically a long, rambling novel that is almost like a fictional memoir without any real plot, a novel where the writer is try...
