How was it. People say it's a really good book but they also said that about Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist which I didn't like. How would you compare this to The Alchemist? I've heard they are similar in some ways.
It's good, i think it's over-rated though, its an easy read, not rewarding much. and not easy to relate to because of the context, prose are nice, characters are flawed so feels natural. sometimes feel cheesy and a little too far fetched.
And it's much better than the alchemist, which i hated absolutely. I wasn't regretting the money i spent when i was done reading like i was after reading alchemist
so all in all, kite runner isnt a book id remember or wait to think about in another week..
