具体描述
“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime."
Amir is the son of a wealthy Kabul merchant, a member of the ruling caste of Pashtuns. Hassan, his servant and constant companion, is a Hazara, a despised and impoverished caste. Their uncommon bond is torn by Amir's choice to abandon his friend amidst the increasing ethnic, religious, and political tensions of the dying years of the Afghan monarchy, wrenching them far apart. But so strong is the bond between the two boys that Amir journeys back to a distant world, to try to right past wrongs against the only true friend he ever had.
The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.
A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.

评分 评分耗时很久.才把这本一直想看的书看完. 细腻的描写,轻轻的讲述. 好像在耳边. 一个记忆力超群的温和男子絮絮而谈. 过往就像一条河流,展开.铺散. 刺痛.味道.苦难.希望.寻找. 便都全无遮掩的显露出来. 作为一个从小接受基督教教育的女孩儿. 一直在思考那些有着更为严格教规的人们....
评分我时常幻想自己是来自未来的，这样，有一天我面对未来某一时刻的突然变化，就会更从容，面对陈年往事也会更慷慨。但，我更适合平庸，如寻常人一样琐碎繁杂的生活，对时间的细枝末节斤斤计较。 既然无法预知未来，那么人更多的开始依赖回忆，甚至靠那些零星琐碎的回忆支撑往后...

评分just can't put it down, the fastest i've read i guess. so much drawn to the melancholy tone it set from the beginning. not perfect, language-wise, but a riveting, haunting debut novel! bravo, khaled jan!
