The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini's book "The Kite Runner" are one of those books you wished to read for the first time again. The Kite Runner holds such a heart wrenching story, leaving the readers feel a huge empathy with the characters. It covers the unfavorable circumstances of what it is like to live in Afghanistan, and the type of trauma and sacrifices people experience when living in such a destructive country. Despite many years has elapsed since I read this book, I still feel the heaviness and huge sorrow with what the characters went through. Khaled Hosseini's truly unravels the unfortunate circumstances of the innocent lives living in Afghanistan. It opened up my perspective about Afghanistan -- as many wouldn't think much about the people, but more about the the terrorism aspect instead. Khaled Hosseini made me sympathize with people living in a horrid county. I truly recommend this book to anyone. It is one of those books that will leave you feeling destructible. 

Synopsis:

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic. (source: goodreads)
