review of Kite Runner

This story,Kite Runner, is written by Khaled Hoseini about that a man whose name is Amir tried to make up for what he did to his friends, Hassan. This story is located in mainly Afghanistan and this includes the issue of war, religion discrimination by the religious differences. Amir and Hassan are best friends like brother and they always played together. However, one day Amir did something seriously bad to betray Hassan and Amir spend his life for regretting it. Then, he became an adult and he got an opportunity to make up for it. In this story, a competition of kites named Kite Runner is a key thing. The event changed the relationship between Amir and Hassan dramatically when they were young and even after they became adults.
This is a great book because there are a lot of techniques used in order to attract readers. First, he uses foreshadowing from beginning. In addition, by using different language, he succeeds to attract readers attention toward key words. In the content, this story reminded me of my childhood and of how important my friends are. After I read it, the emotion lingered on my heart. Therefore this book is very good.
