The Kite Runner

I read this after I had read A Thousand Splendid Suns and I don't think it's as good. I guess If I had read this first and A Thousand Splendid Suns after I would say this was better. The format is the same, happy childhood followed by darkness, misery, pain, suffering, death, brutality and then a joyous uplifting ending. I think these books are important and should be essential reading for people with tiny minds living in their tiny little worlds, they might learn something.
