'The Kite Runner' Description

Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament, to prove that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him - for he always helps Amir - but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart. But neither of the boys could foresee what would happen to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament, which was to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return, to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.

Customer Reviews for 'The Kite Runner'

Rodolfo Barradas

Absolutely the best book that i ever read! The way that Hosseini writes is just breathtaking; he creates a stream of hope that is just ripped apart, to then being restoared at the end. A must have on everyone's shelve.

Susie Fowler

Fabulous, amazing, wonderful, by far the best book i have ever read. I could not put it down. Heartbreaking and emotional, an absolute must for anyone, you will not be disappointed. Just can@t wait to start on for A Thousand Splendid Suns. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, Khaled Hosseini.

Hala Osman

By far the best book I have read! This book will send you on an emotional rollercoaster, in way that is truthful and humble. My only fear in that all other books will seem bland in comparison.

Khaled Hosseini was born in Afghanistan and his family received political asylum in the USA in 1980. He is a doctor and lives in California. The Kite Runner is his first novel.
