The Kite Runner ,,,“For you, a thousand times over”

The Kite Runner,,,Children have to be Happy!!

First, i didn't really like reading a novel, especially if it was written by foreign author. I thought that the language must be so complicated, even if it has been translated. But, when i saw my older brother recommend me to read this novel, I tried to read. Yup, The Kite Runner could be the great novel I have ever read. It made me cry and made me realize that there are so many people who have to lost their "happy" life, when they have to feel the war, loneliness, and fear.

It is written by Khaled Hosseini and he also comes from Afganistan, the plot of this novel. This novel told about the kid's life in Afganistan where they were so happy at first, but it was suddenly change when the Russian invasion came. Amir, as the main character, had to leave his country with his father to US. He had to leave his brother, that he just knew it when he was adult. 
Then, Amir had a good life in US, he found his girl and get married. His life changed again when he knew that his uncle called him for the first time after the have been separated. His uncle asked Amir to go to Pakistan because there was a secret that must be told. Then, AMir went to Pakistan and met his uncle,,then everything has been told by his uncle. He realized that Hassan was his "real" brother; when he was kid, Hasan was the best servant in his home, he also was the best friend of Amir, they spent time together all day long and Amir loved him as a brother.
Amir and Hassan 
The sad part of this novel came when Amir knew that Hassan has died, he was killed by Taliban because he didn't want to leave his old home in Afganistan T_________T , but Hassan's child was alive! That's why Amir had to find his niece. The conflict was so horrible when AMir had to fight with Taliban and he knew that his niece had to be Taliban servant.
I just can't tell you detail of this novel. but I know that the story looks so real T____T ,, i can't stop crying. I just can't imagine how that kids have to feel those bad things, they become slave, they are tortured!! 
Hosseini wrote it with the good language, he gave the real situation of the place from the politic, geographic, social and cultural system in Afghanistan. 
It's the nice novel,,,read it now!

Some nice quotes i got from this novel;
“For you, a thousand times over” 
“There is only one sin. and that is theft... when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.” 
“Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors.” 
“There is a way to be good again...”
