I rate the kite runner a 3.5 because it was a good book but easy for me to read. I normally read book’s that are much longer and much more difficult to read.

The book is about Amir’s life growing up in Afghanistan, and how it shaped his life to be what is today. The book had some key details in showing us what the landscape, towns, and living condition of the people were like while the Taliban was in control., and also how the Taliban ruled Afghanistan. Khaled Hosseini being from Afghanistan he knew what to write about. The novel is about Amir, and Hassan as best friends, Hassan is always taking the blame for Amir and protecting him from bullies and getting beat up from other kids.

When the Russians invaded that was the turning point in the novel to me. Amir and Baba leave Afghanistan to go live in America to get away from the war, but years later Amir returns. For it to make since you would have to read it. It does get pretty good, but I think it needed a epilog to see what there like in the future.

The book gets pretty emotional, angry, and some other random emotions. I knew that Amir would change through out the book because he remember the winter of 1775. Hassan didn’t seem realistic to me because no one is that pure, good hearted, and so loyal that he would never go against Amir wishes. I’m 15 years old and this is a great book to read in school.
