July Reading : The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption. And it is also about the power of fathers over sons -- their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

This must rate as a classic book. with it's themes of honour, revenge and redemption, set in the turbulent world of modern Afghanistan. Hosseini is a natural writer and has complete mastery of his story and his prose. It's easy to read, disturbing to comprehend, and paints a vivid picture of life in Afghanistan. A truely excellent book.
