The Kite Runner is a book that I will always remember. It is great tale of immense suffering and redemption. I felt Hosseni gave a very descriptive view of a man going to great lengths to be free of his guilt. I am familiar with much of the art and literature that comes out of Afghanistan, and I feel that this is among the best. All of the Afghani stories,like this one, or films are filled with much pain and are very touching. I hope to see more of his work, he seems to be a rising star amongst other modern authors. In final the Kite Runner is a must read and I believe that everyone has something to gain from it.
