This book was not my choice of books, but that of a friend, who wanted my husband John, being a history fan, to explain the history of Afghanistan. All three of us have yet to meet for our discussion of "Kite Runner".
My thoughts of the book are; this is an easy book to read. Second, the story line must be true, how can anyone think of such things that had happened. Lastly, it is just plain sad how groups can come into a peaceful country and invade with evil, and how terrible it is to live with people side by side and only look upon them as dogs, to do whatever you want with them. It reminds me of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" how the white people looked upon the slaves, or the movie, "Amazing Grace", about the slave trading, which did start from the Middle East.
I think even now a days in my country people judge each other not only what blood line they are from but what choices they choose to live by, but not as severe as in the Middle East. I'm sure thankful for our freedom in the United States of America! I would not want to live in Afghanistan.
