The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner was my favorite book out of all three of the summer books. No suprise there. This book was probably the hardest to anotate just because I didn't want to annotate just wanted to read the book. And annotating was difficult for me in the first place just because I think it is wrong to write in a book, but I got used to the idea. For the annotating i did text-to-personal, which was kind of hard for this book. I think i did most of the text-to-world comparison with comparing afghanistan to america and how similiar they were at that day and age. For such a long book it went so fast. The beginning I already didn't like Amir and how he treated Hassan. He treated him okay in public but when other friends were around he treated him like his servant. There are so many things that happened in this book that just made me want to strangle Amir, one was setting up Hassan with burglery. But with the way Amir acted I don't think his father helped with that either. Baba had so many expectations of Amir that Amir didn't meet was dissapointing to Baba.
I also though it was interesting how Amir and Baba came from being this rich family in Afghanistan to being this low middle class family in America it just showed the standard of living in different countries. I enjoyed how the author showed that in the book. When it came to characters I really felt bad for Hassan it seemed he was deemed with all the bad luck in the world which led up to his death. And it alwas seems that Amir is in the backround of this bad luck or the cause of the bad luck. I also fet bad for Hassan's son Sohrab for also he seems to also have some bad luck like his father.
Rahim Khan was probably one of my favorite characters. Even though he reall didn't know what a jerk Amir was he still defended him against his father and was always there to give advice. Assef never even changed thorughout the book and was the little turd he always was even till the end of the book.
This book was fabulous and one of those books that I could reads over and over again and still be suprised and enjoy it throughout the years and I also think everybody should read this book just because of the plot and how awesome the book is.
