This book is by far the BEST book I have ever read! Typically, I pick up a book, read about 10 pages and get bored with it and put it down to never be picked back up....not with this book! The Kite Runner is an amazing and moving story of a boy named Amir. The narrator, Amir, faces both turmoil and triumphs throughout his life. The author is so clear with his vision, and really takes you on a whirlwind of story! From here on out, I will compare all the other books I read to The Kite Runner. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

This book is one of the best books that I've read in a long time!!! And that is coming from someone who reads about a book a week!!
It painted a very vivid image of what (I would assume) Afghanistan was like in the 70¿s, during the Soviet invasion and when they were under the Taliban rule. Beyond that it tells a wonderful story of friendship and family, that anyone from any cultural background and learn and grow from. The full circle of the book makes a wonderful and believable story (I had to remind myself multiple times that it was a fiction book!)
I suggested this book for a book club that I am in and have recommended it to everyone I know (readers and non-readers alike).
I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who can read!!!

This book is incredible. So moving with richly drawn characters woven into historical events that helped shaped the lives - for the worse and sometimes the better - of Afgans. I can't imagine anyone not being pulled into the story after the first page. I ordered "A Thousand Splendid Suns" before I even finished "The Kite Runner." This guy can really write!

This is one of those books that you just don't want to put down. It's a quick read but it did take me a while because I couldn't see through the tears. It's tragic, redeeming & well worth the tissues.

This book is amazing! I started reading it on Friday and finished it on Sunday. I was so hooked that I couldn't put it down. The author is extremely talented! He does a tremendous job of bringing the characters to life. I highly recommend this book, it's by far the best book that I've read.

I read this book and felt it was an incredible story. So during the holiday rush when the book stores are usually packed, I saw this here on OS and chose to get it for my son to enjoy and read when he wants to escape his busy schedule. The price was that of a discount book store and shipping was free, so I let OS do my shopping for me.

I really enjoyed this book. It was good to read and learn about another culture, especially since we hear so much about Afganistan these days. The book was very well written and I had a hard time putting it down.

I had just finished reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" which was excellent and my daughter had read Kite Runner, written earlier and she had recommended both. Oh my gosh, both ranked up there as the best books I've read. I didn't know much about the Afghan culture or history, and after reading these two books, I know more now. Kite Runner lets you see life through a child's eyes and as as he grows up. This is such an easy read and so well written. I highly recommend.

This book is one of the best books I've ever read, and I read about 3 a week! It has absolutely everything in it: regret, guilt, loyalty, love, honor, war, etc. I believe it will be one of the best literary writings of our time. I highly recommend this book to everyone! I just saw the movie the other night too, and recommend that as well. It sticks to the storyline, and is very well acted. If possible, read the book first. I love, love, love this book!!!

This is definitely a wonderful piece of work. Everyone should read it at least once if not more. It really does tap on the inner soul of human beings...how selfish, loyal, loving, forgiving, evil people can be. How the decisions you made as a child can change the rest of your life and other people's lives. This story will stick with you for the rest of your life.

This is a definite must read book. I really enjoyed the story line and learning some cultural facts of an area that we are now more than ever involved in. I would recommend this book to everyone.
