the writer had given me an enormous number of information about italy, not just rome or milan that already famous, its also about perugia (which is really beautiful with their pastel-colored buildings), florence (firenze), tuscany and even naples (napoli) the city of mafiosso! he explore all the cities there, from the big one till the small one that i dont think you even know it is exist. haha..
the conclusion is, the more you read the pages in this book, the more you fall in love with a beautiful country called Italia! from their traditions, language, food, and many more!
soo, italians, you really have to read this book!

The Kite Runner

A month ago I’ve just finished read a touchy novel titled the Kite Runner. That is really a great story, type of story that makes you heart really touched deep down –and there is not an impossible thing if you get your tears fall down while reading this book-! A must-read book I think. This novel was written by Khaled Hosseini, an Afghanistan guy who grew up in America. And it is the first Afghan’s novel that translated to English.

At first I don’t feel much enthusiastic when reading this novel. But as the words goes, this novel became the i-can’t-put-it-before-i-finished-reading-it novel! Haha.. Hassan and Amir -two main characters in the story- really give me much life lessons. About trust in each other, about the i-wont-let-my-friend-get-down kind of feeling and that something not happens to you for any reasons, there’ll always be a reason behind everything happened to you. There are lotsa things that you can learn from the novel.

Many parts in this novel that really touched my heart, but just these parts touched my heart the most:

1. When Amir throws Hassan’s body with delimas to test would Hassan reply it to Amir or not, but what Hassan do is walking to Amir with delima in his hand and then he crushed that delima in his own face then shout to Amir, “are you satisfied?!”

2. When Amir finally found out that Hassan actually is his brother from different mother –because Amir’s mom died when she gives Amir birth- and when he knows it, Hassan already died! So saddddd.. beside there are some facts that in his past life Amir always envy Hassan and Amir never look after Hassan at anytime Hassan get bullied.

3. When Rahim Khan –Amir Father’s friend- said “there is a way to be good, Amir” it’s also really touched. And with that words from Rahim Khan, Amir went back to Afghanistan to look for Hassan’s son –Sohrab, which is spent his life alone after his parent’s death.

Huh, so sad I’m not pretty good at describing something, but you must read this really! By the way, this novel already pours into a widescreen movie. The movie was great but not as great as the novel because they do cut much important part of the story. But it stills such a great movie that can make people crying while watching it.
