.. its a good read.. a lot of culture and history...

the movie was also good... as far as i remember, the movie followed the book closely..

it will be worthwhile to watch the movie first before reading so you have a picture of the characters and setting while reading...


WIKI:
The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who befriends Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of Afghanistan's monarchy through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime.
