“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”
“i saw the movie and loved iti havent read the book yeti plan on reading itis it anything like the movie?”
“I was deeply touched by this book. Not only does it present an eye-opening view of Taliban Afghanistan, it takes a reader through the heart wrenching journey of a young man tortured by his actions as a child. What I really noticed is how Hosseini ends each of his chapters with sentences that cut you right to the soul.”
“I read the book and saw the movie. I thought the book was better than the movie. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about friendship and loyalty even in hard times.”
“I watched the movie. It was extremely touching. Is the book the same?”
“Very captivating and heart-touching story of Afghanistan. Hosseini presented to us how Afghans, like himself, searched the meaning of their existence in a country that was almost ruined by war. But, despite the war robbed them of their home, it didn't obliterate their rich culture and identity.... completely unforgettable! ”
“what is it abt”
