I read this novel years ago and I confess, at that time, It was my best read for some time. I enjoyed this book. Amir the narrator of the novel has narrated it beautifully. The sense of insecurity in the father-son relation has been woven nicely and the sense of redemption and guilt is the main theme in the psyche of the narrator. I found the entire story heart-wrenching and the scenes and plot around the friendship of two boys from two different and opposite strata of the society were perfectly written and composed by Khaled. The novel’s depiction is full of warmth and humor.
Being the first work of Khaled, I admire his way of writing and the way he advances his story.

It says there is only one sin,
“There is only one sin. and that is theft… when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.”
THE KITE RUNNER
and then there is a solution…
“There is a way to be good again…”
Though at times, somewhere in between, I found it lacking in pace still the entire plot was engaging. The most interesting part of the story for me was the friendship portrayal of Aamir and Hassan. It was written with all tenderness and innocence of childhood. I will write this brief opinion on the book with a great sense of contentment.
“Though they both climbed the poplar trees together… … On the south end of the garden, in the shadows of a loquat tree, Hassan lived alone without him in the servant quarters.”
