Feb 11, 2019TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
The Kite Runner was one of the first books I ever read, written by Khaled Hosseini. This book is a masterpiece as I have reread it many times over the years and I never get bored of it. The book starts of by showing the friendship of two childhood friends (Amir and Hassan) in Afghanistan, Kabul. The book shows us how the beautiful bond of friendship between the protagonist and his childhood friend develops. They face many hardships together and create many memories. Amir is the son of a wealthy merchant and the protagonist of this book. This beautiful book shows us many thing that we can all learn from and has a really deep meaning behind it that I will not say. I would honestly give this book a 4/5. I recommend that everyone should read this masterpiece and try to learn from it. @Eko of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library This is a harrowing tale about two boys that in any other tale would be foes, but by chance become brothers. It will take you through a whirlwind of emotions. From happiness to disgust to heartbreak it will not fail to entertain. Hosseini captures the gut-wrenching reality of Afghanistan at the roots of its on-going war through the eyes of two boys who live opposite lives. This book deals with forgiveness, redemption, betrayal etc. It’s so impactful and shines a huge light on the cruelty of society. Though the book will leave you scared, it will make you happy because you have now been opened to a wanting to accept and understand the people around you. I would give this book a 5/5. @Pandora of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board
