The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

4.0

i really enjoyed this!!!! it was super engaging and evocative - i found myself moved almost to tears a number of times. sometimes i found it to be a little heavyhanded or on the nose - for example amir’s facial injury mirroring hassan’s cleft lip was a little overexplained as was some of the generational repetition stuff with baba, hassan, amir and sohrab, but overall a brilliant debut and well worth the read !!!!
