Synopsis
This epic novel is set in Afghanistan, beginning in the days of the monarchy and reaching to the early 21st century. Amir is the son of a wealthy man; his best friend is Hassan, the son of his father's servant. Growing up in Kabul, the two share an idyllic childhood until a traumatic event--and Amir's act of cowardly betrayal--changes the nature of their friendship. Amir, who ends up in America, is tortured by his betrayal of Hassan, and he finds himself compelled to return, years later, to a Taliban-dominated Afghanistan to make amends. THE KITE RUNNER, written by an Afghani--now a physician--whose family found asylum in the U.S. in 1980--personalizes the conflicts in Afghanistan and the US involvement there. A debut novel, it was hailed by critics for its poetic prose and vivid characters.

Industry Reviews
"Here's a real find: a striking debut from an Afghan now living in the US....Rather than settle for a coming-of-age or travails-of-immigrants story, Hosseini has folded them both into this searing spectacle of hard-won personal salvation. All this, and a rich slice of Afghan culture too: irresistible."
Kirkus Reviews (05/01/2003)

"[A] passionate story about guilt, honour and forgiveness, enlivened both by its capacity to offer a valuable insider's view into a country much in the news, and by its wisdom about how life is all about the choices we make."
Literary Review - Lucy Beresford (09/01/2003)

"...Khaled Hosseini gives us a vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence--forces that continue to threaten them even today."
New York Times Book Review - Edward Hower (08/03/2003)

    This is one of the most powerful books I've read in a while. Even after reading it earlier in the year the story still resonates with me. Observe the relationship, or lack thereof, between a father and son and how the son must struggle with youth and becoming a man. You will thoroughly enjoy this one.

    Ok, at first the book started out as "ok" and not much impressed my although it didnt dull me either, but as you get to the middle/end of the book, you will see why this book got excellent praise from some of the most popular reviewers. See how Afghanistan was like before the US went to war in their country and how the culture is like in their country. It certainly changed my mind and thought about how the country is as a whole. In addition, you will see the closeness of families, and realize "honor" and "price" is one of the most important aspects of an Afghan's life.

    A very powerful book. A little sad through out the book at times, but still a great book. I hope Khaled will write a sequel to it!
