    read the book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini it shows a big difference of how it is portrayed with the movie. The book has more details and a deeper meaning than the movie. Watching the movie I saw that the creators did not add the important details. It is depressing because there were so many scenes that I wanted to get a better image. The movie had different aspects that it did not tell like the story did. What I believe was an important scene in the book was not shown in the movie. After watching

    Kite Runner Book Review By: David Ongchoco Afghans like to say: “Life goes on‚ unmindful of beginning‚ end…crisis or catharsis‚ moving forward like a slow dusty caravan of kochis [nomads].” This quote was fully embodied in the story of Kite Runner‚ where despite all the difficulties‚ hardships‚ sorrows‚ devastating events‚ the world didn’t pause for Amir‚ it simply continued.
