I wouldn't say that this NOT a good book... it is !!
Bring back lot of memories to me... the old kampong days when we use to play & run after "layang anyot"...
Also, it gave good portrays on life in Afghan back then - how difficult & sad...
The value of friendship - what we wish we have not done or done better....
The relationship of a father & son, the master & the servant, the people & the oppressor, the turn of the table where one day u rule & the other day u suffer, life as migrants, and many more... it is all so surreal !
Frankly, many times - my precious tears flowed while reading this novel (Thanks to Mrs Beki for recommending them.. hehe)
HOWEVER !!.... I don't really recommend this book for teenagers without good Islamic value(thought my 15 yrs old do read it after I gave him some insight of the book and what to be cautious and aware of)..
~ Mainly, about his fathers view on Islam, people drinks (liquour of course), doesn't really pray (although then ending changes this, Alhamdullillah), etc...
On the whole, it is a good read (with caution, of course)...
They are making this book into a movie (screening end 2007 & early 2008)...
Do get it from the Library.... The Kite Runner (link) by Khaled Hosseini
