Reading the apparently good novel the kite runner

It sucks, I have to read it for school, and its honestly one of the worst books I have ever read, anyone care to debate this topic

Give it time, it's not really one of those books that just opens with a car chase and lots of explosions, there is hidden themes and messages, that will become apparent later on in the text as you read.

I actually picked it up because one of my friends was studying it for school and it sounded really interesting. There were a few parts in the novel that nearly made me cry I tell you. :cry: !!

The chapter that invovled rape kind of made me dislike the book, I know its a central theme, but seriously? The way it was described made me somewhat reluctant to read on.

Good book but i hate the butt rape part, should have cut off his **** before he rapes more little boys.

It's a great book. You should keep reading.

Kite Runner is a great book. Amir and Hassan are both interesting, very flawed characters.

I didn't like it.

The movie was even worse.
