Review of The Kite Runner (2007) by Ryan D — 27 Jul 2009
I liked the book, even though it felt a little contrived, but for me the movie was better -- it left out the parts that I felt was contrived in the first place, and it has a more optimistic ending while somehow making it a little less pat.
Not sure how they managed that. The main character is a little more likable in the movie; I didn't like him much in the book. Still an 8-handkerchief story, though. It was nice to finally "see" what I could only imagine.
