I've just recently finished reading the book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It was absolutely amazing, and I couldn't put it down.

I recommend it to anyone, although the events in the book are very tragic.

Has anyone else read this book? I know it's been a bestseller.

i've been wanting to for a while now, it's on my list.

i read it and i saw the movie. definately a great read and definately recomment it.

I saw the movie and I'm about 1/4 of the way through the book. The movie actually followed it super well so far.

I think the author does a really nice job of describing all the seriousness without it being vulgar or anything. And you do see the childlike quality of Amir at the beginning even though he's a weakling that you just want to slap...

i agree 100%.

/ITS ON DVD AT STARBUCKS!!!! i was totally gonna buy it but i only brought enough money for a frapp :)

anyways. i love this book. its actually the first book i read completely and loved. i really like how everything hits you in all the right places... and its all very real.

i agree with angelrelevation & mizzkewl06 as well. i HATED amir as a kid hahah.

Khaled Hosseini is an absolutely remarkable storyteller this book was wonderfully written-i also liked the movie, but didn't love it due to a couple of scenes that i thought would definitely be in it (but the director did a good job of including what he did)

his second book, A Thousand Splendid Suns, was another great story of which i think was better than The Kite Runner. regardless, they are both two of my most favorite books :)

Ah, I haven't read A Thousand Splendid Suns yet, but I plan on it. I bet it'll be just as amazing. :D

gosh, there is such history with this book

so our teacher recommended the book and the whole class went out in search for it. so all the copies in the libraries ran out. then i requested it and didnt get it till two months later. by then, everyone was moving on the a thousand splendid suns. then i got my book but at such a bad time, and i wasnt able to read it. then it was overdue. and man, there is a much longer story.

basically, havent read it yet but really want to.

ohmygosh, it is indeed SO amazing. i love how in The Kite Runner, hosseini focused on the relationship between two males and in A Thousand Splendid Suns, he focused on two women so we know that he can write well from the two perspectives.

khaled hosseini is an amazing writer. i'm hoping he has a very, very long career.

i just finished reading it... and i do agree that it was a great book. i can't decide which was better, but i really really liked both.

Although I haven't read The Kite Runner (yet), i just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns and I thought it was brilliant, too.
It made me want a boyfriend like Tariq.

^haha, i KNOW!! awww

After seeing the movie a couple days ago, I really want to read it.

Haha you should!!

its one of my favorite books but i still havent seen the movie.
