BOOK REVIEW
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Khaled Hosseini’s first novel, The Kite Runner, is a powerful story of friendship, betrayal and suffering. It is set in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, in the seventies, then a relatively liberal and open-minded city. 1 _____
Although the novel describes dramatic political events, it is Amir’s close friendship with Hassan, the son of his father’s servant, which catches our attention. Hassan serves his friend breakfast every morning and then stays to clean the house while Amir is driven to school. Hassan does not resent his friend’s much more comfortable life and he is a loyal companion. However, Amir betrays him, an act that will make Amir feel guilty even when he and his father have escaped to America and left Hassan and the war behind. 2 _____ It is a journey that takes him back to his home country and forces him to face the suffering that the people he left behind have to live with.
Hosseini describes Afghanistan in a way that brings the country to life, and his writing style is always clear and easy to follow. The story moves along at a fast pace and takes us on an incredibly exciting journey from the joy and happiness of the boys’ youth to the anxiety and fear of the war. 3 _____Hosseini has demonstrated great skill in managing to take such a complicated theme and produce a novel that readers all over the world find hard to put down.
The Kite Runner is a dramatic novel that is full of action and emotion and that, despite the war that erupts and destroys people’s lives, offers hope. 4 _____Much of the story is set in a country that has suffered greatly, but the ending suggests that there might be a better future both for the characters and for Afghanistan. One can only hope that this is the case.
