I was very hesitant to read The Kite Runner because I saw it everywhere. I had this feeling that there must be more hype than substance. I don't remember what finally made me give in, but I'm so glad I did. It was beautiful--and harsh, and sad, and inspiring. The descriptions of Kabul, Afghanistan before the Soviet Union invasion make it sound like somewhere I would want to visit. The story is of two best friends who are from completely different backgrounds. One is the servant in the household of the other. If you happen to have not read this yet, do so! (And the movie's not too bad either.)
