So last night I started reading “Kite Runner” by Khaled Husseini. I heard it was a really really good book, (and I also heard it was very sad). I started reading it around 11 PM. Usually I get sleepy around 12 AM, but as I read more and more of the book, I didn’t feel sleepy at all. I was like wide awake and I really didn’t want to put the book down. Eventually, my eyes started dozing off and so I decided I should find a place to stop. I put the book down and looked at my clock - it was 2:30 AM.
I fell asleep, and then I woke up to the voice of my older sister. I looked at the clock and it was 6:30 AM. She told me it was raining really hard outside and just then, I remembered that I had left my new pet bunny rabbit outside under her cage (even though the thing is closed from the top and all).
Anyways, so I got up and put on my dad’s big raincoat and ran outside to get the cage and my bunny (Jasmine) and all. I came back inside and ate some nasty cereal crap (I think it was the healthy kind _). Then I went up to my room and I didn’t really feel sleepy anymore, so I picked up the book and started reading.
I didn’t even put it down until I finished, kasme. I cried a lot - even the night before when I had started reading it. Some of the parts in the book really shocked me, and it was scary too. I heard people tell me it was sad, but I really didn’t think I’d cry. I’ve cried a few times before when reading a book, but not regularly or anything. My nose was all runny and I had snot rushing out of my nose - I was a mess. =\
Kite Runner is by far the greatest book I’ve ever read. I never really thought any book would be able to top my former favorite - Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. But Khaled Uncle here sure did manage to do so. =)
I love summer break. I would never have been able to find time to read books I actually enjoy if it weren’t for these 3 months of freedom.
heyy u should read "DO THEY HEAR U WHEN YOU CRY" by Fauziya Kassindja her self ,i havnt found any touching story after reading this .Its about a black young girl of seventeen who escapes from her home town Africa tp west to seek asylum.The book shows how fauzia fought for her self after she was stripped, shackled and imprisoned by immigration.It shows that in Africa how people brutally mutilated genitals of their young baby girls,Its really woth reading and only god know how much i cried its really touching story.
i totally agree, I read Kite running about 6 months ago, and I loved it. It was a touching story, made me cry, I even got a teacher to use it in a course I took 3 semesters ago!
