The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this novel. Hosseini did a good job of writing about some of the complications of friendship and family. I could relate to the experience of immigrants and refugees trying to adjust to a new country, culture, and language.
The setting of Afghanistan in two different times was also really interesting. I've read some of the history of the U.S. and the Soviet Union in Afghanistan but I still think this book could have benefitted from explaining a bit more clearly what was going politically to understand the relationship to what was happening in the plot of the story.

I am addicted to reading. This is because 1) my dad died and I inherited his books, 2) my husband is a writer and he is really well-read, and he has tons of books in the house as well, 3) I discovered that I could get ebooks and audiobooks from my library online!
