by Khaled Hosseini
[2/5]
I read this book several years ago when it first was published. I just watched the movie and was reminded of how dark this book about kites really is. The movie is very true to the story and the whole thing is presented in subtitles so it feels very culturally correct even if it is not. This is a boyhood coming of age story set in Afganistan. It tells the story of one boys cruelty to his best friend at an age when he knew better. The end explores this family secret in more detail but it never really feels like the story has closure.
