Reader's Blog Two

I have read approximately one third of the novel. I picked up this book, because I was looking just for a good read. And that’s what it has been for me so far. I enjoy reading it on the train, tram, bus or at home.

The Kite runner is about a boy, Amir, who lives in Kabul, Afghanistan in the 70s. Afghanistan was different then, since it was before all the terrors started. Amir has an age similar servant, Hassan, who is also his best friend. Because of their differences statuses, they have an interesting relationship. Amir lives in a mansion, while Hassan lives in a small hut outside. Amir goes to school, while Hassan spends the day cleaning the house. But once Amir comes home, they unite in playing outside.
