The Kite Runner is an emotional and raw story of friendship, betrayal, and ultimately, redemption. The story itself is gripping with vivid characters you’ll love and hate. Absolutely remarkable story that will stay with you. While this book can be hard to read, I think it should be a must read at least once in your life. 

The line, “For you, a thousand times over” became one of my forever favorites.
