This book has kept me up the last 2 nights. One of the best books I have read in a long time. I must say the first 2 chapters are a little hard to 'get into',, but stick with it,, IT is a GREAT BOOK, and a TRUE STORY!!!
<b> The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini </b>

Sass !!

Could you explain a bit why it is a great book, why do you like it, you know like developing a bit ?
Do you plan to lend it to somebody who would want to read it then discuss about it ?

is it a romance? spy story? talks about love?......

Yes, i would like to know more too! could you explain more? and where can get it?

It is written by an Afghani man who left Afghanastan before the Taliban came in. It is about a young boy, and a playmate of his, and how the playmate was left behind . He became an author in the USA. Kite Runner tells about the cruelty in Afghanistan, the love he had for his family. It is hard to swallow some of the events that happen, but just the same it is very enlightening. San Francisco Chronicle named it Best book of the year. It is a book you will not put down nor will you ever foget it. As for where you can get it, I heard there is a new English book store in Times Square that has lots of up to date books. I have promised mine to 2 other people. Evidently flying kites in Afghanistan is a 'sport', along with chasing them---thus the title.

I loved this book too!!!

I love books that give you insite into the lives of people of other cultures. I think that books like this one breed tolerance because when you read it you realize that we are all the same. We all need love and acceptance.

Some of my other favorites are...

The Poisonwood Bible
The known World
The Historian (long read)

kite runner is really really great. sad and yet inspiring. we r all living in the same earth but there r so many stories unfound
