Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

My latest reading ...just finished it last week. It's a borrowed from a dear friend and my first time reading Khaled Hosseini.
The novel is about father and son relationship, friendship between 2 boys-servant and master relation~~only after the death of one, that the other party knew they are actually brothers i.e fathered by a same man...the story is set against a backdrop of a turmoil Afghanistan with the influence of Taliban....after the fall of monarchy and after Russian invasion.

It is so sickening to read about two groups of people fighting with each other when they are actually one--both are native of the same land but one is feeling they are superior from the other, feeling more Islamic in their own definition....

It's a very very sad story...i have stream of tears running down in quite a number of plots!
Bersih mata aku kena cuci :)

Guys, if you are thinking about what -lah to read, perhaps you can try this Kite Runner! I promise it wont fail you!

Am going to buy another novel of Khaled this weekend! Till then ....teraaaaaaaaaa...tetiba teringat "Cilla Black"!!!
