The Book!

THERE IS ANOTHER POST BELOW THIS POST - PLEASE READ !!!



The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Vase aka Kathavarayan gifted me this book during his recent visit to India.

Thnks da... உன் வழ்கைலையே நீ செஞ்சே முதல் நல்ல காரியம் இது தான்! :)

About the book :

Its a story of a man called Amir .

Through out the book , I cried !

It has a strong impact on you. The reason, you are able to relate to him a lot. He is not the ideal hero, thou he is the HERO of the book!

He is just one of us who is ashamed of his inability, who wants to be in the good books of his father, who hides the truth , lie to his friend .... So much of real self .

In my perspective , this book is about friendship.

The friendship of Khamir and Baba , the friendship between Ali and Baba and the friendship between Amir and Hasan.

Amir , could have helped Sohrab even he had not been his half brother's son. He could have done it cause of his debt to his friend Hassan.

I lived with the author. I am comfortable with the first person style of the book, the main reason I wept reading the book!

A must have in the library !
A must read to learn about friendship!

Kudos to the author.

It says the book is being made into movie . Lets wait to watch it.


PS: This is my first review about a novel!
PSS: My first review about movie sucked big time :)

hey, padam paathuten. The scenes corresponding to the childhood of the 2 boys were shot well. but i felt book would be more compelling in certain places. anyways a gud movie. book padikardhuku neram illa......

Phew... I found one more common thing between us.. That's really strange isn't it.

I just completed readg this book a month ago... True... I literally cried.. There are occasions I have to put the book aside and stop reading for a while to control my emotions.

True, Amir is the hero of the book... but Hasan & Sohrab remains in my heart.. Striaghtforward, Loyal... Rare to find isnt it. Also I strongly feel, accepting the guilt doesnt mean ur clean. There r few guilts that cannot be repaired. Amir's is one of them. thats the way I look at it.

P.S: The movie has been already made.. It was suppose to be released in Nov itself but due to problems for the boy who acted in it they have postponed it to Feb 08...so I guess by now it shd hv been released.

The boy who has acted in that movie faced death threats so he has been shifted to Dubia from Afghan...
