READ THIS BOOK

Okay, so one of the best fiction books I've read in a long time is The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini.

Hosseini is a wonderful story teller. There are moments in the novel that provoke audible gasps from the reader! The reader becomes highly invested in what happens to the narrator Amir, as he 'comes of age' just before the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan. This is not an historical overview novel, but a fictional story based during certain real events.

Don't read it if you've got stuff to do, 'cause you will not get it done until you've finished the book!
