The Kite Runner

Bravo to Hosseini, a truly remarkable book. I can't possibly put to words the power this book has, so I have left it to the critics; their words are more descriptively perfect than my own.

"This is one of those unforgettable stories that stays with you for years.  All the great themes of literature and of life are the fabric of this extraordinary novel:love, honor, guilt, fear, redemption." -Isabel Allende

"Powerful...Haunting." -The New York Times Book Review

"A powerful book...no frills, no nonsense, just hard, spare prose...an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvation that requires no atlas or translation to engage and enlighten us. Parts of The Kite Runner are raw and excruciating to read, yet the book in its entirety is lovingly written." -The Washington Post Book World 

"A moving portrait of modern Afghanistan" -Entertainment Weekly

"Riveting...Unforgettable." -Newsday

"Moving and Unexpected." -The Denver Post

"Extraordinary." -People

A must read.
