The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini - absolutely fantastic
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini 
Khaled Hosseini is a very talented writer. Listening to the "Kite Runner" in my car during my daily commute made me wish my commute was longer. I would have prayed for more traffic congestion just to be able to listen to this book longer.
Starting from childhood in Kabul the author accurately describes the story setting from the Afghanistan that got subsequently embroiled in misery, infighting and despair.
don't worry if in the middle of the book you stop and wonder what happened to some of the characters from the initial chapters. They appear to haunt both you and Amir "Jan".
The book could have ended when the narrator and his dad settle in San Francisco after the hazing that life gives to all immigrants in the US. They reached the "promised land " didn't they. But there is more - Amir the now happily married successful writer cannot stay away from adventure.
Telling you anything more would be spoiling it for you. A very good read....
