The Kite Runner

Amazing

This is the best price I've found compared to other stores (around AED 35) and the product is in great condition. It arrived perfectly, and I'm really enjoying the story so far.

Still reading the content is really nice heart touching. Product quality small in size n good one

Couldn't close the book until I have finished

Small book, difficult to read..very low quality

Although I loved the story. The quality of the book isn’t great. Whilst I was reading the pages started falling apart

The book has a small tear on the first page. I bought it as a gift. It may be small but it is visible and clear damage.

The book is small not like normal book and the page quality is also not good

Nice easy read

It’s a nice book, and the quality is decent. I was a bit worried after reading reviews about missing pages, but mine arrived in perfect condition. Just keep in mind that it’s a pocket-sized book, so the font is expectedly small.

zu dem Buch muss man eigentlich nichts mehr schreiben. Es beschreibt die Geschichte des afghanischen Jungen Amir, der als Kind die Zeit der Machtergreifung der Taliban erlebt. Amir wird in sehr priviligierte Verhältnisse hineingeboren, hat einen persönlichen Diener und Spielgefährten Namens Hassan. Einfühlsam wird beschrieben, wie zwiespältig Amirs Gefühle zu Hassan sind, der alle Erwartungen erfüllt, die Amirs Vater eigentlich von Amir erwartet hätte, dieser aber nicht erfüllen kann......aber seinem Vater doch so gern gefallen will. Einschneidendes Erlebnis der Kinder ist die Erfahrung der Drangsalierung durch den Anführer einer Jungenbande, der auch vor sexueller Gewalt nicht zurückschreckt. Amir wird von dem Anführer bedroht, Hassan, der entkommen konnte, kehrt zurück und hilft Amir. Der wiederum bekommt es mit der Angst zu tun und läuft weg. Hassan wird vergewaltigt. Die Beziehung der Kinder ist dadurch zerstört. Die politischen Ereignisse überschlagen sich, Amir flieht mit seinem Vater in die USA, wächst heran und baut sich ein Leben auf, heiratet. Viele Jahre später wird er quasi genötigt, sich seiner damaligen Schuld aus seiner Kindheit zu stellen und Hassan, der weiterhin in Afghanistan lebt, zu helfen. Dabei wird die damalige Situation der Veränderung in Afghanistan herbeigeführt durch die Taliban, sehr intensiv geschildert, ein wirklich starker Eindruck. Am Ende dieser Abenteuer in Afghanistan erhält Amir eine ihn überwältigende Information................

amazing book i wanted to die when i finished it

5 stars are just not enough for this book!! This book has been sitting on my TBR list for far too long, and now that I’ve finally read it, I honestly can’t believe I waited. The Kite Runner was everything, raw, emotional, and completely unforgettable. This was not only my first time reading Khaled Hosseini, but also my first time diving into a story centered around Afghanistan, and I was completely swept away. At its heart, this is a story about relationships. Amir and Hassan’s complicated, heartbreaking bond takes center stage, but Hosseini weaves in so many more layers: a boy and his father, the quiet bond between two fathers, broken connections, new ones, and even the deeply personal relationship between a boy and his homeland. Every thread mattered, and together they created something powerful and amazing. I understand why this book is considered controversial and why some schools have chosen to pull it from reading lists. It’s alot, and it doesn’t shy away from trauma, cruelty, and moments that are painfully difficult to read. But that’s exactly why it’s important. These aren’t just “stories.” They tell of real experiences, and reading them feels essential. To me, that makes it one of the most relevant books I’ve picked up in a long time. I fell hard for these characters. I ached for them, got frustrated with them, wanted to reach through the pages to shake them, and then immediately wanted to hold them close. The emotional toll was real, but the writing was so phenomenal that I couldn’t put it down. This book left me hungry to learn more about Afghanistan, about the history, about the people whose voices deserve to be heard. It’s the kind of novel that lingers long after the last page, and I know I’ll revisit it again in the future, hoping to capture even a piece of that “first-time” reading magic. If you haven’t read The Kite Runner yet, I can’t recommend it enough. Unless the triggers are too much for you personally, this is one of those rare novels that demands to be read. A true modern classic. I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!
