The Kite Runner

So much to say about this great book, I don't know where to start. Absolutely fascinating, the story is set in 1970's Afghanistan, the narrator is Amir, aged twelve. This is a tale of friendship, but with the lines clearly drawn as to class. It gives a great insight into life in Afghanistan under the Taliban.

The book has the feel of a Dickensian story, or a Shakespearean tragedy.

Thoroughly enjoyable.
