The Kite Runner

Read this book in one sitting. Started at 6 pm and then finished roughly at 2:30 am. Normally it takes me longer but I couldn't put the book down. It wasn't so much that I liked Amir, I could relate to him but I felt he was such a coward, and I wasn't satisfied in the end. Anyway, where do I begin? I really enjoyed the first half of the book, while Amir was a child in Afghanistan, and the foreshadowing about Hassan was obvious. Amir craving and seeking love for his father was something I could relate to, however throughout the story I felt that he never fully grew up, that despite being a man in some ways he was a foolish child. The ending was a slap in the face and I a part of me wanted more. The book was okay and I never thought I'd say this but I prefer the movie.
