Summer Reading

The Kite Runner was a great book. It was set in two locations: Afghanistan and California. The book was about two young boys, Amir and Hassan. Amir lived in a wealthy house in Kabul, Afghanistan, and his father was very rich. Hassan lived there too, however he was just the servant's son. They were good friends for along time, till a horrific incident happened to Hassan. Due to that incident, Amir could no longer speak to Hassan. Eventually, Amir and Hassan split ways and never spoke to one another. Over the years Amir felt immeasurable amounts of guilt. As Amir is an adult, he now is on a path to find redemption for his sins. This journey will forever change him, as he goes back to Kabul.

This is a great book. It has an excellent plot, one filled with many intense moments. All of the characters are very interesting too. I'd reccommemd this to anyone, however not for anyone who can't stand violence and/or language.


This is an article on The Kite Runner, about how good of a book it is.
