One of the most poignant well written books!Review created: 09/14/06(updated 09/28/06)

I honestly can't even tell you why I bought this book. Was it for the history, I wasn't really interested in kites. After reading the book I became interested in both in of all places Afghanistan.
Kite Runner is probably one of the most poignant well written books I've ever had the pleasure of discovering.
This is Hosseini's first book and I hope not his last. It's a ground level look at life in Afghanistan. Not a dry history book, but a story about families, rich and poor and how they survive a lifetime of wars.
It has left me clamoring for more from this author, I hope it does the same for you.

I bought this audio book because it had been recommended to me. My husband and I listened together on vacation and loved the book. It enriched our understanding of present day Afganistan and was just a really good story.

I Loved This BookReview created: 02/13/09

I read this book a year ago and loved it. Planning a long road trip, I decided to "reread" this book again via a book tape. What really intrigued me was the story was narrated by the author himself making the pronunciation of all the afghani names perfect. The twenty hour trip passed by in a flash. I was totally enthralled by the sound of his voice and the beautiful story that unfolded again. It was the best. I might even listen to it again on the way back. It is one of most touching stories ever told. I highly recommend it.

I bought this as I had heard such great reviews and was not disappointed. It is beautifully written with detail that transports you to the scene. The language is rich, the story gripping and I would highly recommend this to any discerning reader for great pleasure. The only problem is having read this and the follow up book, finding something to compare in interest and storyline. A marvelous book whose Author deserves all the praise he is receiving.

Put this on your "must read" listThis book is filled with adventure, love, guilt, honor and so much history. I learned about a different culture, the struggles of immigrating to a new country, and saw things in a new way. Truly a "must read". Add this one to your list.
