Re: Kite Runner

there were a few threads on the book and the movie too....
i read the book first and then saw the movie...although it was a sad and depressing book,but I just loved every bit of it...
the movie doesn't do any justice to the book....

Re: Kite Runner

i guess m the only person in the world u hated this book
its full of lies.

^^ I wouldn't know what Afghanistan was like before Russian invaded but the book itself is totally a great read. I'm a fan of the author. LoVVVVVVVVVVed the character of Hassan and almost cried when he was sexually assaulted and then murdered by those effing freaks. I totally felt as if I know that guy somehow.

Re: Kite Runner

Loved both 'The Kite Runner' and 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'.
I loved the character of Hassan aswell... he's the proper portrayal of a loyal friend. Both books were hearttouching. As for the movie, i think this goes for every movie based on a book, it didn't tell the whole story. Atleast that's how i feel about it. :) The book is always better..

Re: Kite Runner

The movie was sad but I feel that every word in the book played is part. It was beautifully written. I felt that I liked The Kite Runner more than A Thousand Splendid Suns but that might just be me.

Re: Kite Runner

I cried when read the book..it was just so touching gosh.....like how many times do you get to read something and actually cry? It never happens...ya only in movies but not when you are reading a book. And it is not just the story, it is the way author describes every emotion.

Re: Kite Runner

Character of Hassan :wub:

and that lovely sentence “for you, hundred times over”

Aww.. lovely.

Well there have been some controversial issues ofcourse, like that episode of taliban regime :vivo: Fatcs seem somehow twisted at times. Yet, the book is still heart rending. Playing with the delicatest of human emotions, and reviving the trust in unconditional sincerity and love. Loved the book.

Re: Kite Runner
