Dear Reader,

I just loved reading The Kite Runner. I couldn't put it down. And along the way, it broke my heart. Now the film. Author and media personality Laura Flanders' review on AlterNet tells us:

"... the film adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's best-selling novel is right on target. Abuse of power, remorse, shame, grief, guilt and the dream of redemption: They're exactly the right emotions to stir in a movie about the United States and Afghanistan."

Sounds good to me. I'm looking forward to seeing the film myself.
