The Kite Runner

This book is absolutely amazing. Khaled Hosseini is quite the story teller. "The Kite Runner" is about two friends, Amir and Hassan, who are separated when war comes to their country. A lot more happens but to tell you the main plot of the story would be to give away some crucial information so you're just gonna have to read it yourself!!!

I was seriously moved by this book. Not because I'm from Afghanistan (because I'm not) or because I was forced to leave my country because of terrorists (because I still live in USA). I was moved by the love and passion the characters have for each other. Amir loves his father and Hassan and Sohrab and all the other people in his life. It touched me. It also made me realize how lucky I am to have a family who loves me and have food on my table and a roof over my head. I'm serious. I'm never taking anything for granted ever again.

Read this book it changed me.

It is very sad though. But completely worth it. It's sad because it's so real.

It is history.
