Anybody here who’s read The Kite Runner? What did you think about it? I’m about to receive my copy, so no spoilers!

You’ll LOVE it. It really touches the heart.
I put off reading it as I didn’t think it would be something I’d like.. WAS I ever wrong. Could not put it down.. Upon finishing, immediately went to store to buy …. ( dang, can’t think of name ).. Perhaps A Thousand Splendid Suns ??? Anyway, enjoy…
The Best Most Wonderful Book U Will Ever Read…
And Read Again.
.And Read
Again!!!!
Great book with many heartbreaking moments
A great read !
The best book.
Great book! A Thousand Splendid Suns, also by the same author is very good, too.
You’re in for a treat. Wonderful book.
Reading that book broke my heart into little pieces.
I was teary all through.
It’s a great book.
Fabulous book!
Definitely a worthwhile read, beautiful and heartbreaking. Keep tissues handy.
Read it!
It’s heartbreaking but so beautiful! ❤️
Read it it’s strong in terms of content
Great book.
Brilliant!
Good story but the author does an awful lot of hand holding and has a habit of explaining their own metaphors which is annoying ? but ignoring that the story is quite good and it’s not usually my thing
This book is an example of how a heartbreak has a subtle beauty to it! Must read ! 🙂
VERY GOOD! One of the ones you never forget!
Oh yes, really good book!
Happy reading!
Fantastic book….get the tissues ready!
Heart-piercing story
One of my top books. Loved it so much!!
Great book, I loved it. My Husband, who is a committed non reader found this after I had read it and didn’t put it down after looking at the first page. I have never been able to get him to read anything else since….
Have you read Hosseini’s other two books? They’re just as good. My favorite is A Thousand Splendid Suns.
@Germaine yeah. His books are love. I’m looking for this 4th book. 🙂
@Germaine Not yet, it’s on my ‘want to read’ list.
Good book
Very good book
Amazing! Have a pack of tissues handy!
One of my favorites!
One of my all time faves!! ❤️
Such a good story
Enjoyed it
I read it, loved it, even though I don’t remember much of it? I just bought a used copy to reread because I do remember loving it!
I loved that book!
Loved it!
Yes, very good.
❤❤❤??
Awesomely heart breaking…
I liked it. Sad, poignant…some parts that are rather shocking…. Much prefer this to a thousand suns… ps there is a movie of this book (I have not seen it) with English subtitles.
One of my most favourite books!!! Read it many years ago.
Well written, but I found the plot upsetting. Convinced me never to read anything by him ever again.
Why so?
Without spoilers, there were some lengthy, detailed descriptions of violence, sufficiently lengthy and detailed to make me think that he (the author) was enjoying it. Life is often painful and violent, and there is some value in the portrayal of that fact, but I don’t want to spend time with someone who enjoys inflicting pain on his imaginary friends.
Woah, I haven’t seen a review like this before…
Well, we’ll see for sure, but thank you for this insight, I truly appreciate it.
Yes!!!
Just one word “Awesome”.
Asked from these people and got positive reaction and went for it ….. So …. U GO FOR IT Too
Have– not yet..
It’s a good story but there is material in there that can be triggering
What do you mean by triggering?
^ yeah?
Well, I’m not so emotional myself and I don’t really have any experiences that may be considered that bad. No problem for me.
Thanks!
One of the best I’ve ever read
Great book and well worth reading. Aspects of the book are deeply sad but they give us an idea of some of the heartache that people experience.
I see I am in the minority but I had a real problem with the writing style and format of the book. The story was interesting but the style was too ABC for me. As if he was following a diagram of how to write. I have not read any of the authors other books, Let us know how you feel after you read it. 🙂
Sure, as I see that the majority like it, but a few have shocking opinions about it like you. I hope it’s not that badly written, or I might find it hard to read it to the end.
I’ll make sure to tell you what I think about it as soon as I finish it, and thank you for your insight.
