The Kite Runner

If the book wasn't listed as fiction I would've believed it all. The story opens your eyes to the devestation in other countries that still goes on today. Truly heartbreaking.

truly amazing and beautifully written. it made me understand a culture i am not a part of, which is not an easy thing to do. it was one of the most depressing and beautiful books i have ever read. always a favorite!

it's a 3 hr movie with all its ups and downs,,,,first couple of chapters are slow but after that you just want to finish it one go. Must to be read.
