This book wrecked myself in all the ways possible. Amir and Hassan. Hassan is a best and loyal friend anyone would wish for and Amir is the worst friend (in the beginning). Amir hurted Hassan with his words.
But I was glad because at the end, Amir chosed to find sohrab and protect him at all costs and adopt him.
 At the end of tbe story, I really forgiven Amir on his past actions towards Hassan. 
Soriya is the best wife. She welcomed Sohrab as her own son.

Sohrab is the best kid. I wished I could hug him and give him all the love he deserves and beyond. Anyways, Amir did that. I'm glad for that.
Sohrab was sexually abused by that fucking bastard Assef, the same man who raped Hassan when he was sohrab's age. And the same man who killed Hassan. I was so happy when Assef was attacked by Sohrab.

The mosr devastating part is the cruelties done by Taliban to Afghan people. It shooked ne while I was reading their actions towards the innocent people including children, men and women. No one deserves that kind of atrocities.
Overall, this book terrified me. This book was devastating, Heartbreaking and unforgettable. And I'm not going to reread this book again because it is as much devastating.

The book, I honestly loved it so, so much. The themes of brotherhood was displayed throughout the entire book, yet it was subtle and I wasn’t expecting the plot twist at all. The emotive language of Hassan and just him in general, I literally aspire to be like him now.

Hassan’s death was kinda of a surprise, so I didn’t get to deep it tbh
 

But overall, the book was really, really good. You could see Amir’s development, ‘For you, a thousand times over.’ Anything that reminded him of Hassan would shed him to tears and I’m really happy Assef got what he got. I’d read this book a thousand times over.

Absolutely devastating and so well-written. Just when you think nothing worse can happen, it does, but Hosseini wraps it up well at the end.

Oof. I knew this would be a heavy, heartbreaking book going in, but I was still in tears for most of the second half. I was forced to confront the loss of innocence and childhood that is part of war and violent regime changes. While it was difficult to read about, I felt that the portrayal of trauma and grief was true to life.

Additionally, I think that Kite Runner pairs very well with A Thousand Splendid Suns in showing how the Taliban affected life across gender, class, and ethnicity.
