The Kite Runner

I am loving this book! Khaled Hosseini is a very talented writer who is able to put you into the story as though you are right there experiencing everything with the characters. To be completely honest, the main character Amir seems to be a terrible person. He is selfish and mean to his only friend, Hassan. He only looks out for himself which is so sad considering all that Hassan does for him. The fact that Amir witnessed the rape of his only friend and did not say anything or save him goes to show how weak he is and also how selfish he is. He was only concerned about how his father would be proud of him for winning the kite competition. I hope he grows as a character and rights his wrongs throughout the novel because he will have a guilty conscience forever.
