The Kite Runner by Khaled Housseini



This was the last book that I read for the book club I joined this past summer. I had read this book about a year ago and I really enjoyed it but it was nice to be able to discuss it with other people. I love to read, but I always find it more enjoyable to share the experience with others.

The boy just had a friend come back after spending over a year in Afghanistan so the imagery really hit home with me. I thought this was a great story not only from a political view point, but a great coming of age story and all of the changes and turmoil that you go through based on decisions and opinions that you form along the way.

I highly recommend this as a read, not light, but it is a novel and not a memoir.
