Being that I already read the Kite Runner when I was going off to college about two years ago I already have my opinion on the book as a whole. Having said this, it is difficult for me to look at specific parts of the book and comment on them without giving away the ending or referring to other parts of the novel...
I love this book and I love the way that the author writes. The narrator pulls me into the piece and once I start reading I cannnot stop. Since I have already read the book and know the ending I am trying to focus more on the words, images, and other literary techniques that the author may have included. So far, I am noticing a lot of imagery involving sight and eyes. These little things I did not pick up with my first read through of the book a few years ago.
Contrary to my feelings of the "coming of age" in the short story, "On Sunday," I feel that this novel is truly a "coming of age" story. The character is really changed by an event (or what turns into a series of events) that effects him for the rest of his life.
