Summary
Sobre el telón de fondo de un Afganistán respetuoso de sus ricas tradiciones ancestrales， la vida en Kabul durante el invierno de 1975 se desarrolla con toda la intensidad， la pujanza y el colorido de una ciudad confiada en su futuro e ignorante de que se avecina uno de los períodos más cruentos y tenebrosos que han padecido los milenarios pueblos que la habitan。 Cometas en el cielo es la conmovedora historia de dos padres y dos hijos， de su amistad y de cómo la casualidad puede convertirse en hito inesperado de nuestro destino。

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 stars。Exceptionally written， exceptionally heartbreaking。 Very current and a great read to understand some background on the humanitarian crisis we see happening in Afghanistan at the moment。 If you are like me， and better understand current events when they are put into the context of a story， then this is a no brainer。

“For you， a thousand times over” ❤️ A heart wrenching story and one that was hard to read at times， but hard in the way that exponentially increases your empathy for a world so different from your own。 A harrowing glimpse into the once was Afghanistan and then the war-torn Afghanistan and Taliban rule。 And yet love and unconditional friendship despite guilt and betrayal。 A true redemption story worth reading。

Wow， what a powerful book。 And much more timely than I realized when picking it up from the library a month ago。 My heart broke reading this story， for many reasons， but it breaks even more knowing that the Taliban are once more in control of Afghanistan。 More than a political commentary， however， this tale really centers on one boy’s moment of cowardice and the lifetime he spends regretting that decision and eventually embarking on an opportunity to redeem himself。 I’m not sure if I will ever f Wow， what a powerful book。 And much more timely than I realized when picking it up from the library a month ago。 My heart broke reading this story， for many reasons， but it breaks even more knowing that the Taliban are once more in control of Afghanistan。 More than a political commentary， however， this tale really centers on one boy’s moment of cowardice and the lifetime he spends regretting that decision and eventually embarking on an opportunity to redeem himself。 I’m not sure if I will ever forget certain scenes in this novel。 。。。more

The Kite Runner has been a very impactful book for me in many ways。 Vivid characters such as Amir， who is trapped in his own mind and is considered to be a coward by his own father at times。 There is Assef， the antagonist who instigates most of the difficulties that arise in Amir and Hassan's life。 Hassan， Amir's servant and half brother who always stuck up for Amir throughout his life， stating "for you， a thousand times over"。 The Kite Runner is definitely an emotionally provoking book due to t The Kite Runner has been a very impactful book for me in many ways。 Vivid characters such as Amir， who is trapped in his own mind and is considered to be a coward by his own father at times。 There is Assef， the antagonist who instigates most of the difficulties that arise in Amir and Hassan's life。 Hassan， Amir's servant and half brother who always stuck up for Amir throughout his life， stating "for you， a thousand times over"。 The Kite Runner is definitely an emotionally provoking book due to the strong connections being formed between Amir and Hassan， which crumble to dust at the feet of the Taliban and Assef。 Amir's struggles later come back to haunt him throughout his life， always troubled with the thought that he left his best friend behind all because he was too ashamed and afraid to stand up against adversity。 These hardships gnaw at Amir all throughout his time in America， eventually blooming into a passionate search and rescue of Sohrab， （Hassan's son） from the clutches of the Taliban。 Hosseini introduces many theological concepts throughout the book， the most prominent one being the essence of sin。 Baba speaks to Amir saying "There is no act more wretched than stealing。" He means that all sin is a branch of theft。 Taking a man's life is stealing a Father from a son， a husband from a wife， a brother from a sister。 This concept really spoke to me because it really does apply to all sin。 。。。more

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a very inspiring novel that makes me want to change my life for the better。 For me， the theme of redeeming yourself from the sins you have committed in the past is a very powerful message。 I think everyone has something they did in the past that they do not want to talk about a lot， but The Kite Runner teaches us that it is best for us to confront our past sins and make them right， so that we do not have any regrets later。 A passage that stood out to me in T The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a very inspiring novel that makes me want to change my life for the better。 For me， the theme of redeeming yourself from the sins you have committed in the past is a very powerful message。 I think everyone has something they did in the past that they do not want to talk about a lot， but The Kite Runner teaches us that it is best for us to confront our past sins and make them right， so that we do not have any regrets later。 A passage that stood out to me in The Kite Runner was， "It may be unfair， but what happens in a few days， sometimes even a single day， can change the course of a whole lifetime" （Hosseini 142）。 In my personal life， the passage is important because it encourages me to never make a decision that I will regret in the future。 It gives me the awareness of the consequences of my decisions， and also reminds me that a wrong decision will always impact me in the long run。 。。。more

I think that this book is important to me because of the way the plot is laid out。 I had not read many of these types of books and I think that it was important to me because it expanded my horizons。 I thought that the way the plot looped around itself is what makes this book so special。 At the point where the two stories connected to each other。 This point was a pivotal part of the book because I think that it split the book into two distinct parts。 When Rahim Khan told Amir "There is a way to I think that this book is important to me because of the way the plot is laid out。 I had not read many of these types of books and I think that it was important to me because it expanded my horizons。 I thought that the way the plot looped around itself is what makes this book so special。 At the point where the two stories connected to each other。 This point was a pivotal part of the book because I think that it split the book into two distinct parts。 When Rahim Khan told Amir "There is a way to be good again，" I think that before this it was the guilt-ridden portion of the book while after the phone call it was the part where Amir was able to atone to his sins from his childhood。 My favorite part of the book was the letter from Hassan to Amir。 Hassan told Amir， "The droughts have dried the hill and the tree hasn't borne fruit in years。" （Hosseini 217） I felt that this was a perfect representation of their relationship and shows how disconnected and how their friendship has "not borne any fruits"。 。。。more

The Kite Runner was a great book。 It proved to be very encapsulating and kept me engaged the whole time。 When I started reading The Kite Runner， I was not expecting it would become one of my favorite books， but it did。 The reason why I think the book is so good is that I became very attached to the characters， in hopes that they would cross paths again or that they would make amends for what had happened and that they would continue being friends。 I loved the way Hosseini wrote The Kite Runner。 The Kite Runner was a great book。 It proved to be very encapsulating and kept me engaged the whole time。 When I started reading The Kite Runner， I was not expecting it would become one of my favorite books， but it did。 The reason why I think the book is so good is that I became very attached to the characters， in hopes that they would cross paths again or that they would make amends for what had happened and that they would continue being friends。 I loved the way Hosseini wrote The Kite Runner。 The way he formatted the book was he started with present-day Amir and worked his way through Amir's life until he was to the point he started。 Hosseini did a great job also with creating characters who are likable and creating a heart-breaking plot。 Hosseini built a plot with countless twists and turns which is why The Kite Runner is so engaging。 I recommend everyone reads The Kite Runner。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I would say that there were two concepts that drew me into this novel。 The first one was this idea on redemption， or how "there is a way to be good again，" as Rahim Khan cryptically mentions。 Mr。 Hosseini stressed the theme of redemption by making Amir， the protagonist， as terrible a person as possible。 Amir was not a good person， notably when he didn't help Hassan as he was sexually assaulted， as well as ending a 40-year old friend between his father and his best friend。 Despite all that， Amir I would say that there were two concepts that drew me into this novel。 The first one was this idea on redemption， or how "there is a way to be good again，" as Rahim Khan cryptically mentions。 Mr。 Hosseini stressed the theme of redemption by making Amir， the protagonist， as terrible a person as possible。 Amir was not a good person， notably when he didn't help Hassan as he was sexually assaulted， as well as ending a 40-year old friend between his father and his best friend。 Despite all that， Amir improved， notably by rescuing Hassan's son from the Taliban， and while he has a long way to go， Amir's on the right track。 The second concept is repetition。 Things from the past often come back and manifest themselves in different forms， and Hosseini stressed this。 Take Amir， who as a child， put a fistful of money under Hassan's bed to frame him for robbery。 This is an immoral act， and it ended Baba and Ali's friendship as well as exiling Hassan。 Fast-forward twenty-six years， and Amir does the same thing， "[planting] a fistful of crumpled money under a mattress" （Hosseini 242）。 But this time， it's a good act。 He's helping a starving Afghani family。 Hosseini gives the audience such a vivid image of the past so we get to see the characters improve in the present。 That's what made The Kite Runner such a memorable book to me。 。。。more
