** spoiler alert ** I reread this book in November 2009 because I had loved it so much on my first reading and wanted to remind myself why I loved it so much. Unfortunately, that's probably going to take it down a star or two. I still think it's a great book, but with a few more years under my belt, I am a little more critical of the cliched devices and (oft!)repeated strategies Hosseini uses to drive his point home. As for the good - I hate that the book gets a bad rap because it's pop lit. The sentence structure is never super-complex, but the man knows how to write a novel. I'm sick of reading novels with no clear point or direction, and The Kite Runner has one. You know what's wrong, and what needs to occur to fix it. The story is damn interesting, as are some of the characters. To use a cliche (sure, I'll be just as shameless as the author) I couldn't put it down. Even this time. The prose in captivating, and there are never too many or too few words to describe a scene. But the bad(ish?)... beware of... SPOILERS!!!! Every significant event in the book was HEAVILY foreshadowed, which I think is a bit much. I felt like I was reading MadLibs, and this sentence came up way too frequently: "And that was the last time _[action:]_ would happen until _[year:]_." Then the author would go on explaining why that was the case. Also, there was one point in the story where the author came up with such an interesting plot device: Amir gets a scar in his upper lip that paralleled the one Hassan had had many years ago. How interesting! There are so many ways to consider what that means! But the author spoiled it immediately by explicitly writing that it paralleled Hassan's scar - it was not that tough to figure out, but Hosseini wanted to be sure we caught that! That was so unneccessary, I rolled my eyes while reading. As for plot holes... why exactly are we supposed to believe that the sociopath-rapist-half Afghan Nazi Talib has allowed his prisoner of many months to keep a deadly weapon in his possession? I guess the sociopath just overlooked that. There's also a heavy dose of cliche and schmaltz. If Hosseini had written this with a lighter touch, I think it would have been even better. As it stands, it's still a great book that is worth reading, but maybe only once.

I loved this book. Everything about it. Even though the story seemed a little/ a lot unbelievable I loved the weaving of several stories into one.

This is technically a young-adult book, but an adult friend loaned it to me, and it was fun to read! This is the author who wrote _The Princess Diaries._
Creepy, yet intriguing story of attraction, fixation, death, and rebirth.

Wonderful continuation of the life of William Marshal. I cried at the end, after having spent so much time reading about him, I felt sad that the story was ending. It was a beautiful description of the greatest knight's death. I have learned so much about medeival life through this story, many interesting details and facts. Thanks Elizabeth Chadwick for your hard work and extensive research!

SO much truth in such a thin book.

I really enjoyed this book entirely because of the setting. The writing can be quite purple and heavy handed but it will still take you convincingly into the back streets and bedrooms of Feudal Tokyo.

I liked this book... It is neat for me to step into someone else's shoes... especially when the shoes I am "trying on" are so far from any reality that I would ever be a part of. I am sure there are better books about this topic out there, but I did enjoy it.

I actually read this, like, a bajillion years ago, but I get on a roll on this site about once every six months, and this is absolutely my favorite thing that this author has ever done, so. . . Read this. Immediately. If there is one thing McKinley does wrong, it's that she has yet to produce a sequel. Everything about it is fabulous.
