Recently, I went to see a very advanced screening of The Kite Runner, which releases on Dec. 14. Below is my review up at Film School Rejects.
The film adaptation of The Kite Runner brings the popular best-seller to life with beautiful intensity. Like the novel, this film is haunting, vivid and upsetting.
I’m not a huge fan of political movies or books, but the political events in The Kite Runner are only a part of the story. Instead the captivating main characters and tale itself make for an interesting and non didactic watch, despite the political issues that it also arises.

I'm glad you liked the movie, I looooved the book and can't wait to see the film.

:) I will first have to read the book, and then I will have to see the film.
I read and absolutely loved this book. I have been scared about how the movie would compare to the book. Now I am encouraged to see it. I can hardly wait. YAY!
I've been meaning to read this book FOREVER!!! I really need to do so before seeing the movie. Of course, I doubt I'll see the movie until it comes out on DVD, so I've got time. Glad to hear you thought so highly of it!
