Tyler Sullivan Mr. Rich English 2 7 September 2011 Book Review A Khaled, Hosseini. The Kite Runner. New York: Riverhead Books, 2003 Everyone in the world dreams of a perfect future for their life, and they are always striving to reach their personal goals. Along the way, there are always people, events, or other obstacles that can block the course. But eventually, people will find ways to conquer these obstacles and redeem themselves from previous mistakes. The life of a young boy named Amir winds along this path. Amir’s life story is portrayed in The Kite Runner, a novel written by Khaled Hosseini. Amir encounters, and eventually overcomes, many obstacles on the way to success as a writer and a better life in America. Amir’s life begins in Kabul, Afghanistan where he lives with his father, Baba, servant Hassan, and Hassan’s father Ali. His life is privileged, but Amir feels like he is a failure to his father. His father disapproves of many of Amir’s choices and their uncertain relationship proves to be a major obstacle he must overcome. I felt that Amir’s constant attempts to impress his father created further tension in his life. After a turn of events forces the family to leave their lavish life and servants behind, Amir feels as if the world is against him, and only rarely does anything provide happiness. “I only knew the memory lived in me… a brushstroke of color on the gray, barren canvas our lives had become” (Hosseini 123). Amir feels very small in a big world as he and his father are pushed around from Afghanistan to Pakistan, and eventually to America. Finally Amir reaches America and settles in Fremont, California. He marries a beautiful Afghan woman named Soraya, and it seems as if things are finally looking up. A better life is forming, and it feels like Amir has trampled most of the obstacles and success is finally coming his way. But the joyride is short, and many problems, both old and new, begin to show up. Amir and his wife are unable to have a child, Amir’s father Baba dies, and Amir receives a phone call from an old friend in Afghanistan requesting help. He struggles to fight these demons haunting him. While reading the novel, I felt that this was a very low point in his life, one that would require great courage to overcome. But there always is hope, which Amir must find. “Come. There is a way to be good again, Rahim Khan had said on the phone just before hanging up” (Hosseini 192). Hinting that he believes there actually is hope, Amir travels back to his homeland. On a challenging journey of understanding and redemption, he discovers that good is once again possible. After finishing the book, I began to truly appreciate the struggles and countless difficulties Amir had to face and overcome. I believe he was able to overcome many of the difficulties due to help of friends or the help of unexpected benefactors he encountered along the way. These people allowed everything to be possible, just as in life, where true friends can make all the difference. In this way Amir finds success and happiness in ways he did not know of before. It rings true considering that he was finally able to complete his mission and become a novelist, and I truly respect him for his perseverance throughout the journey.

Nick Archer is a private detective. He isn't much of one, but he does have a pretty decent gig: to watch a rich client's wife and prove that she is (or isn't) faithful. And of course Nick has struck up a relationship with the wife and they share many interesting evenings together. But all of it comes crashing down when the client turns up dead, the wife is the prime suspect, and Nick has to clear her. But not everything is as it appears to be with Nick and he has his own agenda in this case. The story is patterned off the classic old style PI novels (think a lesser version of the Maltese Falcon or Casablanca) complete with the world weary PI, the cheating--but beautiful wife, the put upon assistant, the poor relationship with the local cops, and of course the Murder. The majority of the story is decent---not great, and not bad either. But it really doesn't add much new to the genre and is traditional of these types of stories...up until the ending that is. The ending packs a real punch and I just wish they had laid some of that out in the rest of the story instead of just the last 30 pages. It would have made the story more enjoyable. The artwork is different. It's drawn all in black and white and current events are drawn with pen and ink in a lose/sketchy feel that captures the bare bones of the characters, the lines in the faces, the movements that their eyes make, etc. It reminds me of some of the stuff that the Hernandez brothers have put out. It took a while for it to grow on me, but it's a nice change of pace from a lot of the more traditional styles out there. What's also different in this novel is how past events are depicted. Past events are down in black and white traditional watercolors and you can pick out more detail of the characters and the scenes and they seem to have more depth to them and more feeling. I actually prefer the artwork done in this manner to the pen and ink, but I think if the entire novel had been done that way it wouldn't stand out as much. I recommend reading this book to the ending, even if the story doesn't hold your attention in the beginning because the ending will make it worthwhile.
