Letter to Mr. Khaled Hosseini - Author 'The Kite Runner'





Mr. Khaled Hosseini
Author,
The Kite Runner,
USA.

Subject: The Kite Runner - An Exaggerated Drama

Dear Mr. Hosseini,

It is to inform you that I have recently gone through your Novel 'The Kite Runner'. I really appreciate your efforts to write such a great Novel which is happened to be a big hit. I understand that people do have their own reasons to like it and those guys who have made a film on it must have found someting extraordinary in it. But after reading it, I am unable to find out that 'wow' factor. I feel like you have ruined the whole momentum with your own pen.

I am not saying that it is a bad written novel. It is really a remarkable piece of literature. I can also understand how much it is difficult to write more than 500 pages and to drag the story till the 500th page while you can finish it on 25oth page. I can understand the pressure of your publishers. They are such morons.

I can also understand that you are an Asian who are happened to be more emotional and dramatic than people living out of Aisa.

But honestly speaking, there was no need to create such a big drama. Everything was going fine, I mean incredible, till the return of Amir from USA. But the secrets that Rahim Khan discloses to Amir are seemed to me like a litte over-writing stuff. As some actors in subcontinent like Shah Rukh Khan are used to do over-acting, you give the impression of over-writing. I would have still liked it if you do not show that Hassan is Amir's half brother. No need of that. If you were struck with another story before finishing this novel, you may write another novel for it. You have just broken the whole magic of the novel. But I still like it. It's an interesting and appealing Novel.

Next time, do not try to be an Over-writer like Shah Rukh Khan (an over actor).

Keep the good work on.

With regards bhabhi ko salam,

Your sincerely,

RebellionCrap :)
