I stayed up until 3:00 AM Saturday morning reading the most fascinating and satisfying book I've read in a long time.

I had been on the library waiting list for several weeks and finally picked the book up early last week.  I didn't really have a chance to get to it until Friday night - and then I couldn't put it down.

It even brought me to tears.  That hasn't happened in a long, long time.

"The Kite Runner" a contemporary story that includes so many timeless attributes; it's about friendship, pride, honor, prejudice, betrayal and redemption.  It's heartbreaking and beautiful.  It is a story that will not leave you alone even long after you've turned the last page and closed the book.

Through the first several chapters I had a knot in my stomach; by the end of the book I had an ache in my heart.

This is a book that I will add to my library and read again.  Get it and let me know what you thought!
