His follow-up book, A thousand splendid suns, is fantastic as well. Both deal with the situation in Afghanistan and about the remarkable courage of very ordinary people

Date: 2009-09-09 06:55 pm (UTC)Is the "Kite Runner" a fantasy book? I am sorry, but I don't know the book ... I think oO
(no subject)
Date: 2009-09-09 11:12 pm (UTC)Haha yeah its another one of those annoying english things where similar words mean different things haha!
Nope, I don't read much fantasy books neither hehe.
This book, although fiction, talks about how hard life is under the taliban military in Afghanistan. Centres on 2 main characters, a boy and his friend/servant who is extremely loyal to his master. The master betrayed the friendship once, and the book talks about his road to redemption.
