The kite runner

jeg er selv igang med at læse bogen, men da det bare er en "fritidslæsnings -bog" har jeg ikke skrevet noter til den. Indtil videre er jeg kun kommet til side 118.. men kort sagt handler det om et venskab mellem Amir, som er rig, og hassan( er fattig)og hvordan dette venskab uvikler sig og bliver afbrudt. senere i bogen rejser Amir og hans familie til USA (pga. krigen i Afganistan), hvor han i det meget anderledes samfund plages af skyld.




-The New York Times Book Review:
" This powerful first novel... tells a story af fierce cruelty and fierce yet, redeeming love. Both transform the life of Amir. Khaled Housseini´s privileged young narrator, who comes of age during the last peaceful days of the monachy, just before his country´s revalution and its invation by russian forces. But political events, even as dramatic as the ones that are presented in "The Kite Runner, are only a part of the this story. In "the Kite Runner". Khaled Housseini gives us a vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence - forces that continue to threaten them even today"


- The Washington Post Book World:
"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"
