The Kite Runner

This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel.Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day.It is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart.Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul.He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament.Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man.His loyal friend Haan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen and he promises to help him---for Haan always helps Amir out of trouble.But Haan is a Shi’a Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan.Haan is taunted and jeered at by Amir’s school friens;he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amir’s house.Then what happens to Haan on the afternooon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives and define their futures.Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California.The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear and the kind of ruthle evil that transcends mere politics.Running parallel to this personal narrative of lo and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amir’s equally guilt-ridden relationship with war-torn city of his birth.I am convinced that few books are as good as this one.To be honest, I hadn’t maintained that this book would appeal me before I read it.However, I was absorbed in the book from the first chapter to the last one.Why this book has appealed to me that much? I asked myself.This book is not my type of reading for only romantic books could draw my attention succefully.Then I came into a conclusion that it is the friendship and familyship fascinated me.To the world you are one person, but to the person who loves you, you are the world.Amir was Haan’s world.Amir’s name had been the first word Haan spoke.Haan threatened brutal Aef for the sake of Amir.Haan never failed to run the kite to please Amir.Haan sacrificed himself for Amir’s house.These are more than a friend would do.Only those who loves you so much could challenge himself to do what Haan did to Amir.To Haan, Amir was not only a mere friend but a brother.He loved Amir more than anything else.Even after Amir betrayed him, he still told his son proudly“Agan Amir is my best friend”.Maybe for Haan “for you, a thousand times over” has another meaning, which is not just kite running for Amir but he will do anything for Amir.As for the familyship, it exists typically between Amir and his father.During Amir’s young age, he always felt that his father was unfamiliar and far away from him.Although he had spared no efforts to please his father, it seemed to have no sense.It was not until they were forced to leave their hometown to the United States that he and his father’s relationship became closer and better.Almost middle age, Amir began to find that how his father loved him and what his father had done for him.When his father has gone, he mied him very mcch.The friendship and familyship expreed in this book moved me so much.I believe all the people who read it will be touched just as I am.And this book does make me consider the good and the bad, what’s wrong and what’s right, the cruelty of the war.Few books can exert an influence on people at present.And this book sure does, hoping all of you can have a try.
