Kite Runner

The Kite Runner was the first book I read this summer, and I have to say I liked it.  The beginning seemed long and boring...I was afraid the whole book would be like that.  But it did get interesting, sad, but interesting.  At first I really did not like the main character; I thought he was a coward and a bit pathetic.  But somehow as the book went on I started to understand him, and hate him a little less. I was just impressed with how far he went for redemption and how badly he wanted to fix, in some way, what he had done...or not done.  I think some things are forgivable, especially at a young age.  And this book really showed an emotional side to trying to find redemption for a mistake.
