Kite Runner


This is one of the latest books i read...seen a lot of reviews and saw a lots displayed at Landmark and other book stores...so finally decided to get one...

What a story...a perfect fit for a Hindi Movie...2 close friends (One son of the land lord and other son of their servant) in Afghanistan get separated due to differences of opinion. Later the former with his dad Flees to US in the wake of war in their country.

20 years later, he gets a call from one of his dad's friend asking him to come to Pakistan. He goes there to meet him, where he finds that his close friend is infact is brother (his father had an affair with the servant's wife :)), his friend cum brother along with his wife have been shot dead by the Taliban and they have taken their son with him...

The end is about the hero plight to save the boy from the Taliban clutches...felt like seeing a typical; Hindi movie...if anyone has the patience to read this, please go ahead...
