The kite runner is a very emotional and sad book by Khaled Hosseini, a Afganstianian-American writer. The book's setting is set in the Kabul, the capital of Afganstian, then to American, then back to Kabul, then ends in America with a happy ending. The book talks about two boys who grew up equally but is drawn apart by their social status. The beginning of the was story ok, there were good descriptions, but then the story suddenly turned sad, when Amir, the main character watched his friend Hassan get raped and didnt do anything about it. Even worse, Amir wanted to escape the situation by getting Hassan and his father fired from the house as their servants. About a few decades later, Amir who is now in America picks up a call from an old business partner of his father, saying he needs to come to Pakastain. Amir, who gets persuaded hops on the plane over. There he discovers the truth about his life. At the end, he ends up taking Hassan's son to America with him because Hassan and his wife got shot. I think this is a really good book, and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to read a good story. (I finished it in one day).
