The kite runner review

Have you ever thought what's going on on the other side of or own planet?, perhaps in Afghanistan? Well in this book we can answer this question.

Before starting talking about the novel, let's first begin with Afghanistan it self. Afghanistan has had a very sad and terrifying history, with many terrorists, murders and wars, but there is a turning back!

Afghanistan has been governed in many ways like for example it's been divided in three, governed by three different persons. In this book we can appreciate mainly two different cultures, Pashtuns and Hazaras. Pashtuns outnumber Hazaras and that's one of the reasons Hazaras are discriminated. In my opinion Afghanistan should be better governed so that way the "world war" finishes.

Well the Pashtuns and the Hazaras are represented in the book very well, actually the two main characters are best friend but one is a pashtun and the other one is a Hazara. So the book shows how each of them is treated differently.

And finally my personal opinion on the book, I find it a very good novel with a very beautiful message in the background of friendship and spending more time in the outside doing sports with friends. And why am I rating it only with two stars or of five? Well it's because it stick manly to one character witch in my opinion represents the same discriminations that Hazaras receive. So this is my point of view on this novel and in my opinion it's not so interesting for teenagers because it's slow and it's more like an adults choice.
