Review: 4 out of 10 points

The Kite Runner is a book that shows all the diversity and culture of Afghanistan, so any reader who is interested in learn about this culture should read it, then whoever is not interested, like myself, can have reasons beforehand on disliking it.
Khaled Hosseini is the author and he was born in the same place where the story takes place, Kabul Afghanistan. Thats why he knows very well all the things that happens in his country, this is one of the only things that added points in my review.
The story is about a strange friendship between a rich Pashtung called Amir and a poor Hazara called Hassan, it is a exotic friendship because there are different cultures with contrary convictions and privileges.
Hassan is the servant of his friend and also Amir don´t help Hassan in a awfulness that happened in the book, So I can`t call this a friendship...

On the other hand the book have many fantastic and emotional words that makes the reader don't understand it well, also the book is very slow so the reader gets bored at the begining of a chapter, of course the people of Afghanistan maybe will have a little more interest in this story, but the outsiders will not feel the same as much as the local ones.
The 4 points that I put of this book are because of the good context and the very well localization of the author and the good characterization of the characters. This 4 points aren`t for the story of the book or the good of the authors writting, is just because the book was in a good context with a good characters.
I think that isn`t an interesting story to read and enjoy, more than a enterteinment story is a cultural book to learn about other diversities.
