    "Soaring Debut." - Boston Globe "Exquisite. A wonderfully conjured story that offers a glimpse into an Afghanistan most Americans have never seen, and depicts a side of humanity rarely revealed." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "A beautiful novel. Ranks among the best-written and most provocative stories of the year so far. Hosseini is an exhilaratingly original writer with a gift for irony and a gentle, perspective heart." - The Denver Post "A moving portrait of modern Afghanistan, from its pre-Russian-invasion glory days through the terrible reign of the Taliban."- Entertainment Weekly, "[A] powerful first novel... political events, even as dramatic as the ones that are presented in The Kite Runner , are only a part of this story. In The Kite Runner , Khaled Hosseini gives us a vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence--forces that continue to threaten them even today." --The New York Times Book Review "A beautiful novel... This unusually eloquent story is also about the fragile relationship between fathers and sons, humans and their gods, men and their countries. Loyalty and blood are the ties that bind their stories into one of the most lyrical, moving and unexpected books this year." -- The Denver Post "A marvelous first novel... the story of two young boys who are friends in Afghanistan, and an incredible story of the culture. It's an old-fashioned kind of novel that really sweeps you away." -- San Francisco Chronicle "This extraordinary novel locates the personal struggles of everyday people in the terrible sweep of history." -- People "A moving portrait of modern Afghanistan." --Entertainment Weekly "A powerful book...no frills, no nonsense, just hard, spare prose...an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvation that requires no atlas or translation to engage and enlighten us. Parts of The Kite Runner are raw and excruciating to read, yet the book in its entirety is lovingly written." --The Washington Post Book World "An astonishing, powerful book."--Diane Sawyer, "[A] powerful first novel... political events, even as dramatic as the ones that are presented in  The Kite Runner , are only a part of this story.
