Journal Entry 1 by rockyhorror1978 from St. Catharines, Ontario Canada on Saturday, October 03, 2009

"The Kite Runner follows the story of Amir, the privileged son of a wealthy businessman in Kabul, and Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant. As children in the relatively stable Afghanistan of the early 1970s, the boys are inseparable. They spend idyllic days running kites and telling stories of mystical places and powerful warriors until an unspeakable event changes the nature of their relationship forever, and eventually cements their bond in ways neither boy could have ever predicted. Even after Amir and his father flee to America, Amir remains haunted by his cowardly actions and disloyalty. In part, it is these demons and the sometimes impossible quest for forgiveness that bring him back to his war-torn native land after it comes under Taliban rule."

Regardless of how hard I tried, I could not get into this book and did not find myself captivated by the plot. Perhaps I will try to read this book again in the future.

Finally caught this book. Everytime I get it at the Library I have 3 other books come with it and never have time to finish it. Isn't that always the way. Glad to finally get the chance to finish the book!

Caught in Oakville in the 2nd Cup at Lakeshore and Navy.
