Book review: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

The Kite RunnerThe Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini is a poignant and emotionally impactful book that left me in tears. The author's ability to weave a narrative that delves deep into themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the human experience is truly remarkable.

One quote that particularly resonated with me from the book is, “I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.” This quote encapsulates the complexity of forgiveness and the gradual process of letting go of pain and resentment.

Hosseini's storytelling is powerful, drawing readers into the lives of the characters and their struggles, making each emotion and revelation feel raw and authentic. The themes explored in the book, including friendship, betrayal, and the search for redemption, are universal and relatable.

There's no need to say this, but it is a deeply moving and thought-provoking read that stays with you long after you've turned the last page. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of finding peace and redemption amidst life's challenges.

#37 Warrior Princess



She isn't a princess waiting to be rescued
She is queen who can carry her crown
And your hasty judgements
With equal grace...

Neither sugar and spice
Nor everything nice
She's got fire and fury
Little sparkle and many lilies
In equal measure...

She can't be tamed
Caged or confined
She got her wings
For she's born to fly...
