The Kite Runner. I don't like it.

I think this would have been a good book if there wasn't so much betrayal. The Kite Runner has some good parts in it, but the negative events outweigh the positive ones. So far I am not liking the book, its based in Afghanistan, which has to do with Canada right now because of Al-Queda and all that terrorist BS. If we end up watching the movie, I won't watch it. Purely because of the sexual content it may have.

Betrayal

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini: Amir betrays his friend and servant two times. Once he fails to save Hassan from Assef's brutal assault, and then he frames Hassan by placing a watch and money under Hassan's mattress in the servants' shack where Hassan lives with his father Ali. I think letting Hassan get assaulted in the alley way was more of a betrayal because if Amir stopped Assef, he wouldnt have had to blackmail Hassasn later in the story. Amir was just a coward and a chicken. He could have prevented it all.
