the kite runner

ive been reading the kite runner by khalid hosseinin (durin classes...n bookless in baghdad by shashi tharoor at home!).....
wat i loved in this story was the human interest...but before i talk bout tht i must mention tht i loved the last line of the acknowledgement which went -- i will always love u roya jan....
i love the fact tht amir married soraya even tho she had a "tainted" past....n hes brutally honest to agree tht it cud b bcos he had secrets of his own....but it still remains a fact tht he did something tht ws to b appreciated..the book brings out many kindsa relationships....amir n his father,amir n soraya, amir n his best friend hassan....who would do anything for him...n yet its this servitude n unconditional love tht acts as a catalyst to the guilt trip amir is on....for lettin down his friend.v also the mentor-protege relationship bw amir n rahim khan.
amir loves soraya even tho she cannot bear any children...n even he cant deny tht the emptiness is acting like cancer of sorts in their relationship....
love the use of words of endearment like jan n khannum......its the eastern version of ma cherie....n takes u back to the age of persian princes n princesses....
