Kite Runner, the whole story happened in Kabul, Amir is a little host who likes writing story, Hassan is a boy as servant. They played together since very young. Since Baba gived Hassan more admiration and hortation than Amir, Amir began to feel jealous of Hassan. In one kite competition, Amir and Hassan's kite beat all the other kites to win the competition. As Hassan said to Amir, "for you, a thousand times over", he went to pick up the kite. But he met with Assef, the bully guy. Because he wanted to protect the kite, he did not want to broke up the thing he promised to Amir, he suffered the affront frome Assef. Amir was also there, but he chose to escape, he give up to protect little Hassan, who see him as friend, and even brother. By the reason of regretion, Amir could not face Hassan, and could not face himself. Finally, he drove away Hassan by using some craft. Till December of 1972, due to Russia invaded Afghanistan, and Baba made a speech of revile Russia, Baba forced to take Amir to America. Nine years later, Amir became a writer by encouragement from Baba, and he married with one person he loved very much. But he still could not forget the incubus in childhood. One call from Rahim Khan made Amir go back to Pakistan. Then he know that Hassan and him have the same father, and Hassan was killed as he wanted to protect the house belong to Amir's family and Hassan's son was in orphanage. Since then, Amir began to save his soul.....
The whole story is powerful, the description of emotion is minute and wonderful. I strongly recommend people to read this book.
