染雾Title: The Kite Runner Book Review (Part 1)
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a heart-wrenching novel that explores the themes of redemption, guilt, and the complexities of human relationships. Set in Afghanistan, the story follows the life of Amir, a privileged Pashtun boy, and his lifelong journey to atone for his past sins.
One of the most striking aspects of The Kite Runner is the vivid portrayal of the socio-political landscape of Afghanistan. Hosseini paints a stark picture of the country during its turbulent times, from the peaceful days before the Soviet invasion to the oppressive rule of the Taliban. Through his words, we experience the beauty of Kabul and the devastation that war brings upon its people.
Amir's character development is another highlight of the novel. From a young boy eager to please his father to a guilt-ridden adult haunted by his past, Amir's transformation is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Hosseini's exploration of guilt and redemption is masterful, as he delves deep into the consequences of Amir's choices and the lengths he must go to seek forgiveness.
The relationships between characters are also beautifully depicted. The bond between Amir and his best friend, Hassan, is tested by jealousy, betrayal, and the harsh realities of their society. Their friendship serves as a microcosm of the larger themes of the novel, highlighting the divisions between social classes and the power dynamics at play.
Furthermore, the symbolism of kite flying throughout the book is both poignant and meaningful. Kites represent freedom, dreams, and the innocence of childhood. They also serve as a metaphor for the relationship between Amir and Hassan, as well as the pursuit of redemption.
Overall, The Kite Runner is a powerful and emotionally charged novel that explores the depths of the human spirit. It is a story of love, sacrifice, and the search for redemption in a world plagued by violence and guilt. Hosseini's beautiful prose and compelling storytelling make this book a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships and the resilience of the human spirit.

追风筝的人英文读后感(一)
I have seen the novel's name --the Kite Runner many times from the Internet,when it comes to "the novels moved you most".With curiosity,I downloaded it.When reading the novel,from the beginning to the end,I felt a heavy stone of sorrow on my heart.
It is a story about friendship,about fault and atonement,about the good and evil of human natual.
The narrator of the story,Amir ,is born in a rich family.Hassan is his servant as well as close friend.They both lose mother from birth and grow up like brothers.
From Hassan ,I see the most kind and beautiful soul.He never means to hurt anyone.he protects Amir bravely and has a broad mind to endure what Amir do to him.With the promise to run the kite,he hands the last cut kite to Amir though he has insulted by the bully,Assef. for lifetime,he cherishes the friendship,even he dies of protecting Amir's house."For you,a thousand times over"he does as he says…
If Hassan can be described as an angel, then Amir is just a person.when he is a boy,he is badly want father's love and care.he will be jealous,he will fear and be cowardly.When he sees Hassan insulted by Assef,he is so scared that he only hides and watches.he sees what happened but keeps it as a secret.In order to escape the guilt,he makes another fault, making Hassan leave by framing Hassan .Years past, he is still haunted by betraying his childhood friend.
I was shocked when the big secret reveals: Hassan is Amir's half brother,the son of his father and a sevant's wife! Amir's father lives a torturing life,he is torn into two parts.He can't give Hassan the love in the name of a father,which is unfair to Hassan.That explains why he seems care little about Amir …
Knowing the truth,Amir has a painful struggle at the first,and finally chooses the right way,a way of atonement.He rescues Hassan's orphan ,Sorhab,from Assef's hand.At that time,he faces up to Assef's fists,being a man not cowardly.Having gone though a lot of difficulties,he finally brings Sorhab to American.But Sorhab is emotional damaged by adversity.Amir make efforts to revive the little heart.At the end of the story,Sorhab shows a lopside smile,which delights Amir much.Amir run kite for Hassan's son,and says what Hassan once said,"for you, a thousand times over".The snow will be melt,and the spring is coming…The ending is not clearly told,but full of hope.
I like the author' written style.There's paragraghs of internal monologues,warm memorys , sad plots,horrible war scenes…the words,sentences always catch me tightly,make me think,make me cry…Now if someone ask me what novels impressed me most,The Kite Runner will be an answer.
It is the first time I have seen a novel in English.It is hard for me to insist on reading as there are so many words I have to look up.But it really benefit me in some way.
追风筝的人英文读后感(二)
Several years ago,from joyo,I bought the book "the kite runner" which ranked first on best sellers volume.First reading the book,I was totally moved and even cried for the sad story.This year,I knew it has been adapted into a movie.After seeing the movie,I read again this book and gained some new views.
The novel begins a story about two boys.Amir is born in a rich family.Hassan is his servant as well as close friend.They both lose mother from birth and grow up like brothers.Hassan is very loyal to Amiar,but Amiar sells him.Many years later,Amir has settled down in America for years and established a family,but Hassan died for protecting Amir's luxury house in Afghanistan and leave an orphan.Accidentally,Amir gets to know a big secret and decides to atone for his crime that hound around him from childhood.
Reading it again,most of my original views has changed.
At the first place,I have a feeling of being cheated by the writer.The novel first attracted me before because it set its plot in a special environment---Afghanistan which even I often got news about from TV and newspaper,I knew the country utterly ignorant except wars and terrorism.So I wanted to understand more about the calamitous country.However,I am disappointed by the novel which just use a special background environment to tell a so-called travel of human nature .The theme of the novel should be atonement if it was taken off flowery coat.Bad gay lik
At the second place,the characters all serve to a tacky theme-atonement and birth secrects.When the birth secrects are exposed,the atonement travel begins.When the atonement finishes,the story finishes.
I even feel I am wrapped around the American media's little finger.Many celebrities and book concerns writed good comments,which helped it ranke first on sales volume for several times and made readers think it must get widely praised and then bought it without doubt finally.
Though I think the disadvantages are more than advatages,compared with the back atonement part,I like the front part that describes the pure friendship and innocent childhood between two boys.The description about the culture of kite in Afghanistan is excellent.
As a first book of the writer,it is resonable that the novel has some deficiencies.I hope his next and next works can more and more perfect.
追风筝的人英文读后感(三)
It's a moving story and a mixture of love,fear,guilty,atonement and so on.For a lont time,it makes the books we read lost their color.
The first time I read a book written by an Afghan atuhor named Khaled Hosseini ,it told a story between two boys.A rich boy Amir at the age of 12 and his servant Hasan were brotherly loved.Nevertheless,afer a kite game,something miserable happened.Amir feel grievous and guilty for his cowardice and he cannot confront Hansan,using something contempitable to let Hansan and his father leave his home.Not long,Afghanistan broke ou a war,Amir and his father had to fled to America.After his grown- up,he cannot forgave what he had done to Hansan before.And to atone for himself,he returned his hometown,which was destoryed badly by the war……
Maybe all of us more or less had done something as Amir did before,we are too young to understand others feelings when we broke their heart into pieces.We may feel guilty and miserable for waht we have done.But there is no use to cry over spilt milk.What we really should do is to face the reality and like Amir,to atone for ourselves.
