6. Kiterunner

Finished kiterunner!
Overall this book was fairly engaging and typically a fast read, compared to the other two books.

Some things I noticed:

When Sohrab defeated Assef, it reminded me of David and Goliath once again because of their physical appearances. Hassan's prediction about One-eyed Assef was also fulfilled, when Sohrab used his slingshot.

Amir resembles Hassan with his injury on his lip, which looks like a hare-lip!

Anyways, I particularly liked the last scene as Amir was running the kite for Sohrab and he said the same words as Hassan, "For you, a thousand times over." The seasons came up again in the last few sentences when he says, "Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time..." I guess the snow could mean the somewhat cold relationship between Sohrab and Amir, and spring in this case would mean new beginnings for the both of them.
