Heya playas, today I'm going to be reviewing the book "The Kite Runner" which is filled with Afghani
culture, history, ***,
lies, ***,
oh and kite flying!
The Kite Runner is one of those books that everyone around you forces you to read
because they enjoyed it so much.
In fact, there were times that middle-aged white women just stopped me randomly in the airport
to compliment me for reading the book, so let's get started with the good.
Kite Runner follows the story of a young boy named Amir in Afghanistan during the nineteen
seventies. Amir's whole world focuses on the servitude of others.
He views his father Baba as this amazing warrior who can kick the *** of bears and
his best friend Hassan is really his servant. It was really hard for me to
like kid Amir especially because he rides off the will power and strength of
others but that all changed that fateful day when Hassan went to run his kite.
One thing I did question was the importance of the title Kite Runner but
once you read a book and you know
you know. To make a long story short Amir grows up with regret in the
opportunistic land of San Francisco. Once he settles down and integrates himself
into America and its cultures, he gets a call from Afghanistan with a chance
to be good again. Now, this is where I had to close the book and say WHAT THE
*** IT'S SO CLICHE IT HURTS! IF I got a call with a chance to be
good again, I'm gonna take that.
Speaking of which I got something in the mail last week that said I could be
eligible of winning a million dollars
so I'll let you know how that works out. Without spoiling the book for you and I gotta say
that all the stuff he went through during these treacherous battles in Afghanistan,
I still hated him! Yea,
I am almost a hundred percent certain there is not one point in this book where he
is not a little ***.
The bad guys in this book are the Taliban but the author does a really good job
of making them look more like cartoony villains then religiously warped terrorists.
For example the leader of the Taliban group up in this book decides to give up
his preferred method of slaughtering people in the streets to fist fight
one man, in a room and he even told his goons not to interfere until one of
them died.
That just reeks of saturday morning cartoon show. And in the end the main
character, yeah
I still hated him. All in all I'd say the Kite Runner was a good book more than it was bad.
The Kite Runner gives a slight insight on the realities of what people went through in
Afghanistan. But you may catch yourself saying the phrase, wow
it's so amazing how everything tied together all the time, a thousand
times over.
