“aww I learned soo much about their culture in this book, I think that everyone should read it”
“A must read.I think that if you are not 15 yet don't read it.”
“My personal opinion about the book: IT WAS AMAZING!!!I highly recommend this book to everyone no matter what age, and what types of books you like to read. This is one of my favorite books of all time. The author describes everything to the last detail, and it gives you a very vivid picture in your mind about what is happening in the book.”
“I loved this book and couldn't put it down. The life, the story, was all so foreign to me,yet growing up in England and hearing about the invasion of Afghanistan on the news and putting all this story together along with what I heard on TV and radio made it all seem so real.”
“Best book ever, so touching, read Khaled's other book called A thousand splendid suns, really good.”

“i was forced to read this.i didn't like it because i was forced to read it, otherwise i didn't like it because i just don't have an interest in afghanistan and i don't like reading about sexual assaults and things.”
“The Kite Runner is like one of those superhit Hollywood flicks. "Much ado about nothing". Its definitely a well written book, but that's what it is. No more. Discovering Afghanistan through Kite Runner! One must be pretty naive in order to do that. Khaild Hosseini writes with the eye of the privileged. His looks at Afghanistan with an "Western gaze", and presents pictures that fit so precisely like a jigsaw puzzle, into the vision of Afghanistan that the Western media has decided to paint. To Hosseini, the best days of Afghanistan were the days of the feudal monarchy, when the Western elites could live so peacefully in the country, while the teeming millions toiled for the luxury of the few.As that changed, and the voice of the people began to be heard, people like Hosseini started feeling threatened. Hosseini's success is a proof of how the media has still managed to hoodwink the people about the real "good" and "bad" about Afghanistan. ”
“i like books with pictures... not this one”
