Comments on 'The Kite Runner'

veryone agreed that this is the best book we have read so far.
"Hassan is a Jesus like character, humble and forgiving. Such characters are central to many religions"
"The incident which happens on the afternoon of the tournament is described in a simple but powerful way"
"The early relationship between Amir and his father is not very good. After the move to America this changes and the two become very close"
"I found myself wanting to find out more about kite running and its place in Afghan society"
"I learnt a great deal about Afghan culture through reading this book"
"Ending slightly disappointing in that we are left in the dark about whether Amir's adopted son would recover"
