OK bookworm’s I am back foClubr this weeks review of another book that we men can read and talk intelligentlly to our opposite sex better halves. This weeks surprise is “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini. This book has been out for a little bit and the movie which is in your local blockbuster is available for rent.
This story which is beautifully written and told story will have you thinking about this book for weeks after. The Kite Runner is about friendship, betrayal and the price of loyalty. The story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan nonetheless grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir’s father’s servant, is a Hazara, member of a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When the Soviets invade and Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him.
This is a must bookworms don’t miss out. Next week I will tickle your fancy with another book for your enjoyment. I welcome other comments and suggestions for our readers. Till next time
