The Kite Runner

[angel of darknezz]

I had to read this book for school. I thought it would be boring but boy, was I wrong. The movie was ok, but not as good as the book.

Anybody else enjoyed it?

[AsteriskRocks]

I enjoyed the book, but not the movie.

You should read A Thousand Splendid Suns as well.

Awesomecake, especially compared to Enduring Love, the other book we had to read

I thought the same when my teacher told us to read it because I had no interest in Afghanistan or the Taliban or anything because it didn't really affect me. But after reading the Kite runner I'm in love with the society and culture that Amir and Hassan grew up in.
I was really moved by the book and absolutely loved it. I'm re-reading it now since my exam is in a couple weeks.
I hope to read a thousand splendid suns soon as well once I've caught up with the backlog of books that I've bought but been unable to read because of coursework and exams ¬_¬

for you, a thousand times over!

loved that book. <3

I loved the book when I had to do it as a novel essay. The movie just does not capture the sadness of the book.

 

Sohrab does not even try to commit suicide.
