The Kite Runner took me through the whole spectrum of emotions, but mostly sadness and anger. It was a very intimate look into a world I knew very little about. It really made me stop and think about family, culture, and heritage, and what it means to me. While it's not an easy book to read in the sense that it's often brutal and heartbreaking, it's definitely worth it. For a work of fiction, I found there to be a lot of honesty and truth in it.
