The Kite Runner Later printing Edition

This is a well written amazing tale which includes deep emotions. The story starts from the protagonist's childhood and traces all the years until he becomes a man brave enough to execute his remorse.Moments in the story are touchy enough to feel the lump in the throat.

Also, you can feel the essence of Afghanistan' culture before the wars..

I have read many books but this novel is really awesome. It is highly interesting, touching and above all, it is very honest. I like the way the writer describes the situations, scenes and interior thoughts. But most of all, i like the childhood part of novel. In many cases, i associate myself with Amir. I have many characteristics of him. And i am also a huge fond of kite flying.It was my childhood passion.So, this novel refreshed many my childhood memories. In crux, i like this novel and learn many things of life and also of Afghanistan. I give it 4.5 out of 5. MUST READ.

Comment:The author needs to be commended for the way he potrays characters according to their basic nature.The story is woven very elegantly and you can identify with characters.I will definitely vouch for this book.

This is a purchase I'll always treasure. It's a precious gift from a writer to his readers.

This book has stains of every emotion known to human race. There is a loud cry of hungry love that will haunt you throughout.

Baba comes alive when he tells Amir that the greatest and only sin is Theft. Alcohol is just about fine.

Hasan is an extraordinary and angelic imagination of a brilliant writer.

Amir jan. He is both black and white. You can argue & fight with him, relate to him,play with him,spend a lifetime with him, love him but you can never sympathize with him. Let alone empathizing.

I can often locate Baba and Amir on a street but never HASSAN.

A powerful and mesmerizing novel that crawls from your eyes to your soul !!
