Negative Positive
Title: Superb, literate
Review: With almost 2,000 review on this book, I don't know why I must add my comments, but add them I must. I am a reader of non-fiction and biography. I cannot say what led me to "The Kite Runner," but it was a great honor to read this book. It will be read, debated and digested for years. It is great literature. It is the most outstanding comtemporary fiction I have read in many years. There are 5-6 times where the story kicks the reader in the gut. It is very moving.I do not recommend "The Kite Runner" for the squeamish nor the very sensitive. It is a tough, violent book to read. I did not care for the profanity or the graphic violence, but current fiction often is much worse.Amir, Hussan and many of the other characters in the book will stick in my consciousness for a long time.
Is the review positive or negative?
