I promise that there won't be any sarcasm, irony and I won't exaggerate things in this post. There isn't going to be fancy words here. I promise it on top of my family name. This is 100% genuine and real. I'm showing my serious, stern side as a blogger and a person and also a reader who appreciate this work of art.

The Kite Runner talks about the narrator, Amir and Hassan's childhood in the first part of the book. When war strikes, Amir and his father went to America and the second part is about how they adapt to life in America. The final part is how Amir trying to find Sohrab in Kabul who is in the hands of Taliban. I don't want to talk much about the story plot cause I don't want to spoil the story for those who haven't read, reading it or is about the read it. The story itself is about relationship, family, love, betrayal and salvation.

The author of the book, Khaled Hosseini did not only talk about Amir's life in Kabul and America. It also talks about what the Afghanistan struggle to survive and what happen to the people who are left behind when the Taliban took over the place. The people in the book are Muslims. It makes me understand more about a world that I never knew. Living in this Muslims country, I never knew a thing about their religion. But now, I do see that they really believe in Allah. It makes me realize that there's a lot of things I don't understand and yet to understand but as I know it little by little, I want to take a big step and think in different and everyone's perspective.

I never knew what struggling is until I read only a very little of it in the book. I never knew that people have to do many many tough things that's beyond my imagination just to survive. I never knew that people would kill and push others away just because someone is different. I never knew life is that hard for people that are half the world away from us. I never knew that people have to put away pride and dignity just to survive. "Don't ever stare at them! Do you understand me? Never!" It says in the book. I never knew that friendship and loyalty is something that is so beautiful crafted. And I never knew that there's salvation. I never knew that a book does things like that to people. I never knew a lot of things.

I'd be lying I say I didn't cry like a newborn baby. I'd be lying if I say I wasn't sobbing. I'd be lying if I say I didn't have an emotional breakdown. I'd be lying if I say I understand the words and didn't have the scan the phrase over again to understand it. I'd be lying if I say my heart didn't thump when I understand the words.

If you're reading the book and you find it hard to understand, that just means you need to understand more about the world. You need to open your eyes and feel. You need to live to feel the way I feel. I'm in love with every page, every sentence, every phrase and every word yet I cry for every page, every sentence, every phrase and every word. I found myself in extremely awe and more emotional than I ever felt when I finish the book. I felt like the people in the book are not just fiction characters, they are a symbol of life. They are not perfect, they have their ups and downs and they're as emotional as I am. I felt linked with them.

You will feel the way I feel if you understand them. Understand that even though they're different from us, there's still similarity that keeps us as one.

I just finished the book like 20 minutes ago. I don't want to just say it's a great book. Because that'd be a humiliation to the book and also the author. To type this review, I'd been pausing on every sentence I finished typing. Because I simply don't know how to put it in words anymore. I'm struggling to find the perfect word for it. Please forgive me if I didn't give the book the credit it deserves cause I'm still in awe and extremely emotional. All the words in the world couldn't describe how I feel and what I think of this book. My hands are trembling as I'm typing this as the scenes in the book are replaying in my head. It does so many things to me, it makes me feel that it's not just a simple book anymore. It's a way to communicate with people, to know, to feel and to understand others .
