The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
Kite Runner (10/7/2007)
I am a 15 year old Sophmore.

I felt the book was not the best book that I have ever ready. The topic of the book was not something that I am typically interested in. This book was about a young boy and his servant. The young boy Amir does something bad and has to go back and make up for his sin by saving a little boy. Amisr and his father move out of the country because of the war. Amir goes back because his friend calls him and tells him there is a way to be good again. He tells him that his servant has been killed and that he needs to save his servant's son. He finds the son and tries to take him back to the United States and they run into trouble. They get him back to the United States but the little boy goes into a depression and does not talk. I gave this book a rating of 3 because it was not that interesting to me. I usually enjoy thrillers or mysteries. This book was not one of those. I do believe that other people would like it.
If I were to have written this book, I would have changed the ending. The book did not go into detail on how the relationship between Amir and the little ended. If things got better or not. It left you hanging for answers. When I am reading a book I like to have a final ending. Something that makes me feel like the story is over. The only time I do not like this is if there is a sequal to the one I am reading. In that case the story line should leave you wanting to go on to the next book. It was a book that told you that you can make up for your sins.
