The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime.

It's been a while since I finished a book in one seating so you can imagine how hooked I was! From the very first sentence right up to the last full stop, I was gripped. I followed every single word, every single laughter, every single tear, every single fear. It is the life of Amir we followed but it is the life of Hassan, who is destined to be of a lower class from the day he was born a Shi'a, that completes the book. It is about friendship, cowardice, betrayal, loyalty and more, beginning from a peaceful Afghanistan backdrop in the 70s through to what Afghanistan is today - war-torn. I must admit I had to stop for a breather and wipe those tears when Amir found out what happened to Hassan, 15 years after he left Afghanistan for America. A marvellous read and definitely one I will not forget in a long time. "For you, a thousand times over"

***SPOILER ALERT***This novel is set in Afghanistan and the U.S. over the 1970-2002 time period. It chronicles the life of an Afghani-American man who has a couple of serious secrets in his past that change his live. It also gives some insight into Afghani’s life and how it evolved to where it was in September 2001. We also hear some of the challenges and experiences faced by Asian immigrants to North American face. The main character is a boy born to privilege I Kabul. His best friend and he enjoy the annual kite flying competition. While the privileged boy is a great flyer the Hazurat boy is an excellent kite runner. As it turns out they are in fact half-brothers and both portray aspects of their father. The privileged boy betrays his friend with a lie and must live with his conscience for the rest of his life. The Hazurat suffers because he is left behind in Afghanistan and is eventually executed by the Taliban. The privileged boy is able to "become good again" by returning to Taliban ruled Afghanistan to rescue his now orphaned nephew. I enjoyed this description of Afghanistan in the pre-civil war era, the Soviet invasion era and the Taliban era. Also there was an excellent villain the Afghan/German boy who loved Hitler and end up as a key person in the Taliban.
