  16. On one level, The Kite Runner by KhaledHosseini is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal. • Complex, interesting characters • Suspenseful story - You won't want to put it down • Believable voice with flashbacks to childhood • Interesting look at Afghanistan / some graphic images • A page turning, heart- rending story of friendship and secrets • Examines heroes in our lives- & what defines them The Kite Runner
