Some 16-18 year old Brit/Lit fags may have some opinions right about now.

What does /lit/ think of 'The Kite Runner'?

This was an option in my grade 11 english class.
I only read up to the first(only?Iunno.) rape scene, and only because I didn't have the time to read that and what else I was reading for pleasure/school simultaneously.

It was the required reading for my high school ap lit class. It was shit. Girls cried “like eight times”

This is deep to people. There’s no ambiguity, it’s just clear platitudes like rape is bad and muslims are marginalized.

The protagonist is such a fucking pathetic beta male weakling that the book legitimately made me wonder how in the fuck his people have managed to resist American military firepower for almost 17 years.

From Wikipedia:
Regarding his ethnicity, Hosseini stated, "I'm not pure anything ... There's a Pashtun part of me, a Tajik part of me." His mother's family is believed to be from the Mohammadzai tribe of Pashtuns.

The villain is so edgy that it's kinda hillarious in a way. Easily the worst part of the book.

I actually thought the prose wasn't bad.
The story does a good job of redeeming the main character. I liked that the setting was completely different and that the characters try very hard to be good (except for the stupid nazi villain). it's a nice read.
