As usual I'm reading several books but one is a disappointment to me. It is the highly acclaimed 'The Kite Runner'. If it were a true story I'd be a lot more forgiving but this way...

At this point I am where 'Amir' is setting Hassan up as a thief. I may not even finish it which for me is a rare thing.

He presents Amir as evil, even if he doesn't label it as such. The story is so bleak with no redeeming bits of humor that to me the boy is just not believable.
