The Kite Runner - Soul Stirring

I never thought I would read this book for now. This has been with me for more then 6 months now and all of a sudden, I pick up this book and am done in a weekend, in-spite of my niece not allowing me to read it :)..she comes and gets it from me and says "bukku" and checks its pages (to see if it interests here at all in any way)

First and foremost, its a very very nice book. Breaks your heart at times, makes you feel bad @ what happens to Hassan and Amir. Leave out what is good and what is bad, Life always comes a full circle. You feel angry on Amir, feel bad for Hassan, dumbfounded when Shorab asks why people fool his dad when all he had ever done was being sincere and true. We might see ourselves among these characters. Its was .. well I guess its just good enough to say that it was a very nice book and it should be on the "to-be-read" list for sure. It is set on the background of Afghanistan, before and after Taliban Regime and how lives of people get distorted. It was a like a good drama movie. All plots unfolded, all dots connected and completed well. It need not be happy ending always, it can be a start of a happy ending too. I read that this has been made as a movie too. I am not sure how the movie is, but again, I have liked this book a lot and the vision of the characters in my imagination while reading this book should really match the ones in the movie otherwise it will not come out well. Let me see if I get a chance to see it. If I did then I will update the same post here with my view :)

This book reminded me of a few incidents but that will come later when I am really well and free to do write more :) The change of weather is taking its toll on me now. So catch you all soon.

Keep reading...
