In what ways does "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini challenge Western readers' perceptions of Afghanistan and its people, and how does it offer a more nuanced and complex portrayal of the country?

I will never forget that moment when Hassan was cornered by the bully. All Amir had to do was rescue his friend. All he had to do was save Hassan. All he had to do was to act like like a man. Instead, he betrayed his friend. At that moment, I wanted to drop the book. But Hosseini is a great writer, by allowing Amir to redeem himself by saving Hassan's son. Amir went through hell to do this. He suffered great punishment for his initial betrayal. He suffered body pains to accomplish this. It's one of the best redemptions in modern writing. And I agree with you, Hosseini is a great writer. Nice choice of a book.

The assault Hassan faced in this book broke my heart. I was rooting for Hassan throughout the book. Hosseini is a remarkable writer.
