The cover of this book has a review that describes it as "powerful and haunting." I completely agree with both. Because reading is an escape for me I can't say I enjoyed this book very much. Yes, there was a happy ending, but the road it took to get to it was so horrible that it was really tough to read at points.
Here's the description from B&N:
The Kite Runner is an unforgettable story of honour, courage and betrayal set in war-torn Afghanistan as two small boys test their friendship to its limits. Compelling, heartrending, and etched with details of a history never before told in fiction, The Kite Runner explores the ways in which we’re damned by our moral failures, and of the extravagant cost of redemption.
