Amazing book! I started it in the morning, carried it around with me all day and stayed up until 5am to finish it. There are some parts that are difficult to read through, but the events described are important to the plot and the tone of the book. If you do not like to read about bad things that can happen in real life, please pass this along to someone who does. I cannot say enough about this book and hope it finds itself in the hands of someone who will enjoy it and appreciate it.

from amazon.com:
The Kite Runner follows the story of Amir, the privileged son of a wealthy businessman in Kabul, and Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant. As children in the relatively stable Afghanistan of the early 1970s, the boys are inseparable. They spend idyllic days running kites and telling stories of mystical places and powerful warriors until an unspeakable event changes the nature of their relationship forever, and eventually cements their bond in ways neither boy could have ever predicted. Even after Amir and his father flee to America, Amir remains haunted by his cowardly actions and disloyalty. In part, it is these demons and the sometimes impossible quest for forgiveness that bring him back to his war-torn native land after it comes under Taliban rule.
