Review for Kite Runner

In the beginning of Kite Runner, the call from Rahim Khan recalled the days of the author Khaled Hosseini’s childhood in Afghanistan. Amir was the son of a rich family in the capital city Kabul of Afghanistan. His Baba was a successful businessman who had a good reputation and prestige. Hassan, a servant and friend to Amir, was a brave and loyal person. He used to stand up for Amir and regard Amir as his best friend. Comparing with Hassan, Amir was so cowardly and selfish. One important plot in this book is the Kite competition. When Amir saw Hassan was hit by Assef, he did nothing. When Russian invaded Afghanistan, Amir and BaBa escaped to United States. They had a different life in America and worked hard for their new life. Amir loved writing the fiction in America. He built a new family with his wife Saraya who is also from Afghanistan. Amir has changed a lot and begun to think about others. After he talked with Rahim Khan, he thinks about that he will go to save Hassan’s son to make up for Hassan.

This is a great book for me. From this book, I felt a lot about the friendship and how to be a good friend. When I read every chapter, I would expect what will happen in the future. In addition, I learned how to be brave and responsible man like Baba and adult Amir. To sum up, this is worthy to read. It will help the readers to know much about your life.

  1. I agree with your opinion that this book is great but I feel your summary tells too much.I think you didn't have to put examples about Assef and Hassan.
