[sacrilegend]

The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a well-to-do boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime.

Anyone read it? If anyone is even going to read THIS...

I loved it, oh my word...

Yes, it is a very good book. I think he kinda botched the ending though. It seems like he had three endings in one. Oh well, I still haven't gotten around to picking up his new good, Thousand Splendid Suns, but I will soon.
