One of the most gripping storys I've read. Its been almost a year since I read this book, but the story still remains in my mind!! The Kite Runner, author Khaled Hosseini is one of the best I've read. The story is heart wreching to say the least and I am sure you'll not put it down without a tear !! The lives of Amir and Hussain, the relationship they share when Hussain is a worker with Amir and the emotions Amir faces when he learns of Hussain being his half brother gives us a klidascope of images.
