This is a terrific book. Don't get lost in the characters initially. It builds & is really intriguing. Took it on a long trip with 2 co-workers (3 different personality types) & we all were enthralled.

This book started out slow, and the main character had no balls: made you hate him for a while, also you wonder how people can hate others like they do in the middle East, Make us southerns look like choir boys, but it comes together in the last few chapters and makes for a good book. kite runners, that was interesting to find out what it was all about.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS. IT STARTED OUT A LITTLE SLOW, BUT LOVED HEARING THE BOOK RATHER THAN READING AS I FEEL THAT THE ACCENT OF THE AUTHOR REALLY GAVE A BETTER FEEL FOR THE BOOK. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MUST READ AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MORE OF THIS AUTHOR

This was so not my type of audiobook, but after all of the hype, I had to try it. Well, the hype proved true. I absolutely loved this and felt sad when it was over. I recommend this to anyone. Go outside of the genre you usually enjoy. It will be worth it!

This book was on my son's reading list during his senior year in high school. His reaction has brought me to it. The story as read by the author was rich, sad and beautiful. I rarely dispense a "five" star rating but if there was a best of the best, this would be a nominee. Simply an outstanding experience. Bravo.

One of the best stories I've heard in years. The storyteller was amazing and I couldn't wait to hear every word of this tale. The loyalty of Hassan gripped my heart and inspired me. Amir was fortunate to have such a true friend and the story made me count my blessings as well.

Due to the author's clarity and descriptive writing I was able to bring this book to life through colorful visuals. His accent did not interfere with understanding but indeed added to the enjoyment and reality of what Hosseini lived and dared to dream. He is of another culture that was difficult to comprehend and accept. But I was continually and easily taken to the point of respecting the latter for that is what makes us all unique. Bravo Khaled Hosseini! You are a brave and honorable gentleman.
