The version of this book that I have picked up is 10th Anniversary Edition. The book was 1st published in 2013. Though more than 10 years has gone, in my opinion the book stil relevant. Warning: this review may contain spoiler.
The story of 2 boys (unknown to them,they are related by blood), Amir, the privileged son of powerful businessman and Hassan, the illiterate servant. They are of the same age and lived in the same household. The story goes on how they treat each other. The story depict their personal struggle because of their culture and upbringing in Afghanistan.
The book told story in the eye of Amir, where at a point of time has to struggle with his guilt. Then, how this privileged boy has to exile from his own country to America and live life of ordinary person with his father. The differences and struggle as a teenager in that country and turning into adult has changed him.
Coming back to Afghanistan and the search has turn him and his perspective. How he found out who is Hassan, the kite runner and what happen to him and Amir's beloved country.
I think too much spoiler is not good...Happy reading. I love reading this book so much as I have started reading it again. Happy weekend!
