"For you, a thousand times over..."
those are the words that hassan told amir in The Kite Runner, a best-seller by Khaled Hosseini... just finished watching the movie which based on the novel with the same title, again... watched it for a few times, but still it never failed to stimulate my tear glands... however, no matter how good the movie is, there's no way that the movie can be compared to the novel itself...
me myself is not the type who read books much... and i was introduced to this masterpiece by my sister... as soon as i started to finish the first chapter, i couldn't stop... and finally, i finished the whole book in one go... and when they made a movie on it, i was so excited...
clearly, what khaled hosseini wrote was far more complex than what they have portrayed on the screen... the presence of all the emotions in it, can only be achieved by reading the book, and not just by watching its movie... i guess no film can ever fully capture the magic of an excellent book, due to time constraints and poor directors... nevertheless, it was worth it to watch it again, and again...
for those who haven't read it, here's its link, either in .doc or .pdf... trust me, you won't regret it...

I read the book not too long ago and watched the movie with my wife recently, since she isn't that particular in reading the book. But gotta say that the book describes greater detail compare to the movie.
My favorite quote is when the father tells his son, Amir about stealing is the greatest of sin, and the rest were just mere the variations of it.
Awesome fiction.
yup, no doubt it is an awesome book... i also read another best-seller of the author, A Thousand Splendid Suns but only managed to finish half way through, just couldn't connect with its main character...
