The Kite Runner Review

Action, friendship, bulling and forgiveness are the themes that Khalid Hosseini talks about in his book called “The Kite Runner”.

This book is about the friendship and forgiveness of to friends of different cultures that are in conflict.  In this awesome book you can experience the life of Amir and Hassan, a rich boy and his servant, these two boys had a good friendship till Assef and his friends convince Amir to treat Hassan as a servant, because Pashtuns can treat a Hazara like a friend, so he started being cruel with his friend and it will make Amir change for all his life, but that is not all, the story have some graphic content when Assef bullies Hassan.

In conclusion this book brings together all the feelings of Amir since he started bulling Hassan and the thought about his dead mother, so when the best friend of his father says to him that he can steel be good, all de story changes trying to be good again. So for this book I will give five stars out of 10, because it could be more, having a grate story but a bad continuity, repeating the majority of the themes to much, so the book starts to become boring till the theme changes.

So I recommend to read this book if you want to know why and how are the cultural conflicts in Afghanistan happening, but if you want to read a book because it haves a very good story that is changing the themes all the time, I recommend to reed another.
