The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
This book was really cool. It showed what the conflicts in Afghanistan were and are like for Afghan children. To me, a very powerful part of the story is when Amir throws fruit at Hassan and yells at Hassan to hit him back. Amir feels guilty for the cruel things he had done to Hassan and he wants to be punished for them. Though this book gets a little graphic, it is a great read for anyone old enough to watch PG-13 movies.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossein
I thought The Kite Runner was a interesting and entertaining book. personally i am not one that gets interested in books easily, but this book kept me interested. How the author wrote the book about Amir growing up, and longing to make his dad proud the whole time was interesting to me. Everything that went on between Amir and Hassan, or Amir and Baba, or the other characters in the book made what happened in the book different, but in a way went together. Im proud to say thet i enjoyed this book. artndu
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophesies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett
(am i doing this right? or do i have to read a book from the "suggestions list"?)
I was really excited to get my hands on this book as soon as it was recommended to me, and it did not let me down in the least. My attention was perked by my newly founded (and totally not Satanic) interest in Christian mythology, but said attention grew with the brilliant dry wit of the two authors and the believability of the characters and their relationships with one another. What really tickled my fancy was the relationship the anti-christ (also known as 11-year-old Adam Young) has with his group of three other friends. Not only are their interactions completely charming and hilarious (and not to mention all the beautiful parallelism between them and the Four apocalyptic Horsemen, which comes together nicely at the end of the book), but also they're effortless and almost relatable. I could go on and on about the character relationships (especially between Aziraphale, an angel, and part-time rare book dealer, and the demon Crowley, an angel who did not so much as fall as saunter vaguely downwards), but the point I'm trying to make here is that this is a wonderful piece of side-splitting, heart-warming literature that gets my stamp of approval.
