An incredible story. If you have ever had deep friendships in your lifetime this story will break and mend your heart a few times over. This novel is not a lite read, and has more philosophy than you would think. If you have a summer list, stick this one on it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars School required reading *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2013* Had to purchase this for a high school class assignment. Interesting book. My daughter, I believe, enjoyed reading this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Strong Yet Clichéd First Novel *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2009* I was given "The Kite Runner" as a gift with a very strong endorsement. I rarely read fiction, and even more rarely read popular fiction, so I was unsure what to expect. Critics near and far have showered the book with praise, and as I began to read I realized that Mr. Hosseini has a rare gift for nuance and a well-turned phrase. Many of his passages are beautifully written, and the emotional impact of his writing is very high. I genuinely enjoyed the interaction of the two friends, Amir and Hassan, from very different backgrounds, coming to grips with their diverging but intertwined lives in war-ravaged Afghanistan. I found character development to be quite good, although perhaps a bit predictable, with important events and people being seen in a very black or white manner (which is perhaps understandable, as this is a first person novel). I thought the most interesting character was Baba, Amir's father with a looming persona. I likewise appreciated the introverted and subservient Hassan; I found Assef to be a cartoonish version of evil: a necessary plot device, but not rendered as carefully as the rest of the characters.While the general narrative is well written, there are occasional pauses for turgid and repetitive dialogue that slow the book down substantially. Having said that, the sentence construction and pacing is still better than most other contemporary fiction that I have read (which is an admittedly small sample). What I found a bit irritating were the large number of plot contrivances that are absolutely not within the scope of reality. I was especially annoyed by the way that Assef turned out to be the mystery executioner, the mystery of Hassan's lip scar and subsequent surgery, the convenient uncle working for the INS (in a subplot that seemed to go on forever, yet didn't further the overall message of the book), and the avenging slingshot scene. If you couldn't see the significance of those developments long before they played themselves out, you weren't paying attention.In spite of the drawbacks, the book is still a good piece of modern fiction, with interesting characters and an intriguing story with numerous twists and turns: even if you can see through the foreshadowing immediately (and you will be able to), the book will likely still hold your attention for a few hours. As an aside, the book does deal with sadism, cruelty, and rape among other unsavory topics; if you have difficulty reading about the dark side of humanity, I recommend avoiding this book.I think Mr. Hosseini has written a noteworthy first novel; it is not without blemish, but shows immense talent and a high level of craftsmanship. I can only imagine that his writing career will be long and prosperous. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/26662220-the-kite-runner](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/26662220-the-kite-runner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
