What I liked about "The Kite Runner"

I came to United States few weeks back and happened to read a Novel written by Mr.Khaled Hosseini the novel's title is KITE RUNNER ,.the novel narrates thro the hero AMIR and his friendship with his servant friend Mr.Hassan,. It is a heart touching novel of love between a father and son and values of friendship and eternal love between a man and woman,.
It is also having a good narration about people how escaped from the Russian Army in the Afganistan war,. In a nut shell a novel makes every one to read and makes them to compare their childhood,.
As for me as an Indian- born and brought up in Nellore town of Andhra Pradesh recollects my memory of how I used to fly kites at a festival by name SANKRANTI,. on the banks of PENNAR RIVER,.
