Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to gain the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament, to prove that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him - for he always helps Amir - but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart. But neither of the boys could foresee what would happen to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament, which was to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return, to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.

Review by Dr.Eti
As I was reading the book it felt as if I was also there with the Amir witnessing everything . Hosseini creates pictures with words one more vivid that the other..............
*Interesting and an easy read
Review by RP
A story of two childhood friends set in the backdrop of political turmoil in Afghanistan. The story ends like a typical Bollywood flick (Hindi movie), which is a bit of a let down. On the whole an interesting read. A 4/5 for this book
