We all make mistakes, and we all have regrets. Life is so complicated, but we can learn from these things and forgiveness is such a precious gift. The Kite Runner is a story of intense friendship, and struggle. It's heart wrenching and heart warming at the same time. A story about self reflection and growth and what it means to be alive.

beautiful symbolism and story, but was more violent/graphic than I thought and hard to get through
