THE KITE RUNNER

Marvellous,incredible these are the words that come to my mind about this book.
I have read so many books,and have been saying that I was so hooked to it that I couldn't put the book down till I finishd it.
But you will know what does getting really hooked to a book means once you start reading this book.

There had been hardly few books which made me think,evoke emotions but this book does that.
The first thing that convinces you is the relevance of the title with
the story, it truly cmplements the stroy .

Although the start is not that convincing but once an incident takes place in the main protagonist's life ,thereon there is not a single dull moment.

I must admit that nobody succeeds in carving human emotions on paper than Khaled Housseni.

He slowly creates the world of afganistan around you and that's the thing which makes you feel the emotions of the various protagonist , what they are going through.
The story has it's share of happy and emotional moments.

It starts from the post taliban takeover of a lovely and beautiful afghanistan where people love each other and are very happy and the drastic change in afghan once taliban takes over.

Its the story of a happy boy, his prince like life which changes after an incident for which only he is responsible, how he had to deal with the truth and guilt only he knows throughout his life.
The description of the post taliban takeover is really moving.

I can't stop raving about the book, so the best thing I can say is that you go and grab your hands on it and you will understand the difference between reading a book and feeling a book.
In all on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it 9.
