(Synopsis)

The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship and betrayal, and about the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of fathers over sons - their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But through the devastation, Khaled Hosseini offers hope for redemption. ( Publisher's Summary)

(Review)
I think what makes human afraid and offensive is ignorance.
As I didn't know about Muslim people and their life, I was thinking of them very dangerous people dare not to go near by.

But when I visited Morocco, the Muslim country, I found that thy are basically very honest and proud people with deep love to their family.
Thus my fear to Muslims replaced with sympathy.

Now, listening this story about the half life of Amir, the Afghan born man, my sympathy gained confidence.
The love and honest shown by Amir, his father, Hassan and other people in Afghanistan was what exactly I saw in Morocco.

The writing is beautiful but not difficult and reading by the author is quite impressive with the spice of slight accent. If you think of Muslim people as all terrorist or something like that, you must never miss this book and reconsider your impression.
