The Kite Runner

Who has read this book by Khaled Hosseini??? If you have, what do you think of it???

Re: The Kite Runner

An awesome book it is. I had a list of the books I love the most. But The Kite Runner is beyond that. I had actually lost the faith in love, sincere and giving one, the book atleast reinstated my faith. Loved it.

Re: The Kite Runner

I have heard alot about that book but haven't read it yet. Perhaps will read it soon.

P.S: I think the topic is supposed to be in Culture, Literature & Linguistics.

Re: The Kite Runner

Elegance how could you? Go grab a copy. You are going to love it forsure :k:

Re: The Kite Runner

The thread is around 3 years old, Elegance. Im the guilty of bumping it up :blush: Hope someone is going to do the due.

ive read it. i enjoyed it, it was "cant put it down" sorta book.
has anyone read his second book, A Thousand Splendid Suns? its grim, really sad and more so than The Kite Runner, which is tragic, but in a comp diff way.

I have read both, they are both very good and depressing :(

One of my friends asked me not to read that I don’t know why, she says the image of Taliban tribe has been wrongly described. The reality is something different.

Re: The Kite Runner

whats in the book

Re: The Kite Runner

I was told it's a very depressing book, so I decided not to read it.

Re: The Kite Runner

^yes its kinda depressing but still i liked it...
waise i liked his second book 'a thousand splendid suns' better...which was even more depressing...:(

you might wanna give it a try...:)

Yes that's exactly what I have been told.

Guess I might give it a try. :)

I do not think thats true. The work is genuine. Maybe your friend had her own reservations. Wrong image or right, the book is good anyway. It touches one's heart deep.

I think its a fantastic book. I really want to watch the movie but scared it may not be up to my expectations and i dont wana ruin it.

But the The Thousand Splendid Suns is 10x better, my personal opinion!!

Both are must reads if you've not read them already.

Re: The Kite Runner

ooooyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Re: The Kite Runner

The Kite runner is AMAZING!

DO NOT watch the film, its does not do its justice at all.

Khaled Hosseni's 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' is also amazing, would definately recommend both books.

Re: The Kite Runner

ya, i didnt think the movie was going to, thanks.

Re: The Kite Runner

What Laf? Go and read the book if ur really interested :emmy:

The way appraisels have been thrown for Thousand splendid suns, I believe its a must read too. The movie? ummm :vivo:

The book is good nevertheless, depressing or whatever. It tells that some genuine feelings and sentiments still exist. Imagine!

Re: The Kite Runner

Book is excellent, def recommend it to anyone, its very descriptive in detail. Film's a waste of time, nothing like the book.

Re: The Kite Runner

OK, I just have got to go and get it tomorrow, after the 1000 people I’ve come across recommending it :chai:
