[size=130%]It is rare to find a Muslim writer getting appreciated for something he has written, but what if he did that and at the same time he revealed part of his culture in it, Khalid el Hosseiny did that in his very nice novel, the kite runner. I invite you to read it and write your feedback here.
There is a way to be good again.
This novel is a very good one, I liked it very much.
It talks about the good and the bad in a strong comparison and at their being very close to each other. It is not the absolute bad, but in the course of life really small mistakes may ruin the whole thing.
Once Amir felt coward and didn't defend hassan and this is how everything changed in life, this reminds me of the movie derailed. When it is very hard to pay for your mistakes. Amir knew very late that Hassan was his brother, and hassan never knew, and this was a single mistake of the father, that he tried to pay it back. The father was always brave and strong, but a single mistake ruined it all.
The story ends at Amir trying to pay back, but after his soul has been torn for his entire life, and after everything was just reminding him of the bad memory.
Something very good about the story, that I got from it a good idea about the writer's country afghanistan, I felt how he is trying to pour his own memories, but without getting you bored, may be because I am seeing people of that community I was keen about that details.
I knew about taliban, and I saw how the religion's decision for adulterers, and how they should be killed that way if they are married, it is a some minutes mistake again, but this is how life goes.
At the end in a very nice dramatic lines Khalid writes a novel that has a real meaning and may affect your view to things.
