Let's Fly, Cut and Run a Kite with the Kite Runner!

It has been quite a fascinating experience to read the Debut novel of yet another Asian writing prodigy, Khalid Hosseini! The book as we all know, "Kite Runner". It would perhaps be the end of reading spree I have witnessed recently, and now that my breath has become solid and heavy looking at the Semester Performance, I better get some "real books" to read :P

Emotions have always been like a flowing river, uncomprehensible, unstoppable... the style the book's written is no big exception to the fact! I would perhaps go on to comment that, this book is more of an emotion-- cascading like a waterfall --which takes you into a world unknown and unplundered.

With a free flowing hand, and frightful bursts of exemplary imagery, dictionary has been on toes to keep pace with Hosseini's ink. A story truly heart-throbbing and exceptionally serene, takes one into a world few have witnessed. The writer is a small child of "Baba" living in some posh locality of Afghanistan. He and Hasan( their Servant's child ) become the best of friends sharing all possible curves of life, TILL, Amir( the writer ) betrays Hasan and they split.



Amir moves to America with Baba and the story proceeds with how he fights his conscience, which had made him inert to concepts of "Loyalty", "Truce" and "Countrymanship". He returns to Afghanistan, only to discover what his Vanity had hid from him when he was once a child. Without detailing further-- and hence popping the plot --I would recommend you reading this book.
