The Kite Runner

From Amazon -
"This is a story of fathers and sons, friendship and betrayal, and the casualties of fate. In the 1970s, Afghanistan: Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him. But neither of the boys can foresee what will happen to Hassan that afternoon, an event that is to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return to an Afghanistan under Taliban rule to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption."
I quite liked this book, but am unable to rave about it as most people seem to - a lot of it was predictable and cliche-ridden. OK, but not brilliant.
