My first impression about "The kite runner"

Before I start reading the novel, I begin reading the recommendations of famous, news, journals and people. Most of them think that the book is an extraordinary novel which mentioned different concepts like the price of betrayal, the possibility of redemption and the influence of fathers over sons.

The title of the book apparently isn't related with the story. The novel is about Amir, a boy from Kabul Afghanistan, who describes the country and conflicts when Afghanistan’s monarchy fell through an invasion, this story is located between 1975 and 2001.

For the moment I only read the first and second chapters. In the first chapter Amir is located in December 2001, he has a short conversation with Rahim Khan who is a friend of Pakistan and for a moment he begins to remember some stories in the winter of 1975. He looked up and saw twin kites which remembered his family and friends. Probably for this moment the books was titled “The kite runner”.
