The Kite Runner was the "kick-off" book for our monthly book club and I led the discussion on the book. The book was generally well received by the women who attended. I thought we had a good discussion and a diversity of opinion.
I had read The Kite Runner a few years ago when it first came out and then read it again in preparation for the discussion last week. It was a fast read and has some interesting twists and turns of fate. I won't go into specific details for people who haven't read the book as I don't want to spoil it. The movie is due to come out sometime in 07, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the theater and who will play Amir, Baba, and Hassan. Truthfully, I had difficulty believing some of the events that reoccur, of fated meetings and reunions, and particularly the resolution at the end. But that is what makes fiction fiction. I give this book 3.5 stars.
