A fiction brings you different images and perspectives in mind, it makes you think, it makes you create your own world of imagination, it lives in you, it makes you feel the emotions filled in it. A fictional novel can make you change too. Personally, I have always loved fiction.
Hearing good reviews of 'the Kite Runner' from many booklovers, I wanted to read it since long. Then I gifted it to myself along with 'And the mountains echoed' by the same writer (couldn't make-out to read it though)
An Afghani fiction novel, 'The Kite Runner' is a heart-wrenching story, which revolves around the life of Amir and Hassan, two little boys who are attached to each other, in many different ways. The honesty and loyalty of Hassan is very touching.
The story makes you get back to your own life and introspect about yourself. Throughout the read, I questioned to myself, 'Did I ever make such mistake in my life?' or ' did I treated the ones who love me and the ones whom I love for granted, at any point of time?' I literally cried over many stages of the novel.
'Though we cannot undo the mistakes that happened already which we didn't really want to happen that way, we can always do good and be good in future, in relation to what happened earlier' - this is truly a lesson for lifetime.
"For you, a thousand times over" - this line would surely melt your hearts.
Generally, I go for slow reading. The last book I remember reading in a speed and continous mode is the Harry Potter series. But this book kept me reading and made me finish reading it in very less time. It was so deeply touching. After finishing, I was like, why did this finish so fast!?
Even a small line mattered, to connect the short and meaningful plot. It was so beautifully knitted by the author. Didn't get a boring part in it.
This book can bring a change and I recommend it to all the readers and non-readers out there. And I am so eager to read 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' now!!!
Ratings : 4.9 for 5
Yes, it is an easy read, simple, wonderful, sorrowful at the same time.
