This amazing book is full with drama with war torn Afghanistan in the backdrop, takes reader to ups and downs of emotional cycle- it is a kaleidoscope of raw emotions. Whether its hate, friendship, betrayal, separation, cruelty or hope, the book touches depths and heights of every emotion.

Hassan and Amir are both symbol of two extremes of human nature and both are at the top and bottom rung of social order, Hassan keeps surprising the reader with his inner strengths whereas, with all the good fortunes, Amir fails to show any except at the end when he decided to bring Soharab home. They both are inseparable till the end of the novel and in some way or other Hassan was there as if he was never gone from the canvas.

This book is a simple read and written in a narrative style. I have found that authors with English as second language write simple read books and somehow they have better capability to arouse emotions. I have read some books from Indian Authors and I have found the same. I haven’t seen the movie, but just by reading the book, I can tell that the Kite Runner movie will be as powerful English Patient.
