There are very few authors who have the power to move the reader. Move the reader beyond words. Khaled Hosseini is one such. I finished the book yesterday and was glad I read it.
It ranks right up there, along side Life of Pi, Siddartha, ZMM and such like.
The brilliance of his writing takes the reader into another world - the world in Afghanistan. The protagonists' narration takes the reader through the tragedies, celebrations and intimate moments.
Makes a great read! And one to own.
(the movie site is here: http://www.kiterunnermovie.com/ will have to wait until it releases in India)

It was only after reading 'Kite runner' that I assured myself that Kabul was not a war site from the beginning. It had beautiful gardens and People did live happily then.
This post has actually tempted me 2 go n buy this book immediately.
@medhini: yes, "reckless" and "kite flying" people lived happily then. :)
@preethi: am glad you did. As a fee for my services, You've to gift a copy of the book to the cute-yet-intelligent looking bong babe in the bookshop, courtesy sleepyface. And the taxes are taken care by you giving her her my mobile number.
I bought the book too.And allocated 3 in the waiting list.
I'm glad you bought it, O. Its worth the effort that you have put in. Now I can sleep in peace that my little unedited blogpost has increased the sales of the book and has bought Mr.Hosseini more business.
