I know the book is kind of old (2003-04), but I was assigned this to read in my English class a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it.
I'm currently on my 4th read through. Both the story and characters are incredibly deep, and... and.. I want MORE!

Has anyone else read this book and like it as much as I do?
Easily one of my most favorite books!

QUOTE said:Amir is the son of a wealthy Kabul merchant, a member of the ruling caste of Pashtuns. Hassan, his servant and constant companion, is a Hazara, a despised impoverished caste. Their uncommon bond is torn by Amir’s choice to abandon his friend amidst the increasing ethnic, religious, and political tensions of the dying years of the Afghan monarchy, and apparently dissolved when Amir and his father flee to California to escape the Soviet invasion, leaving Hassan and his own gentle father to a terrible fate.
But years later, an old family friend calls Amir from Pakistan and reminds him: “There is a way to be good again.” And Amir journeys back to a distant world, to try to right past wrongs against the only true friend he ever had.
