The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner is about two young boy's names Amir and Hassan. They are as different as can be. Amir is a rich Pashtun and Hassan is his servant Hazara. Their races and social ranks seperate them but they have a bond that not even they seem to fully understand. Hassan is loyal and brave and one day when the boys are in danger Hassan valiantly defends Amir. However... when the roles are reversed Amir reacts differently. That decision haunted and it would be many years before he would have the chance to redeem himself. When the time came he would have to make the decision to save the life of another and maybe his own.
I would recomend this book to most people, but it requires a certin amount of maturity. This book will make you think. there are instances when the horrible that you have to be thankful for the life you live. It will make you familar with the suffering of an entire people. It will make you question what makes a man good or bad and the worth of a smile. This book also makes you feel, there is enough suffering in this book to break your heart. True smiles are so reare that when you see the word you can't help but feel warmer. When the path to redemption comes to an end the feeling of absolute freedom is overwheling. that one moment was worth every page stained by blood and tears.
