Last book on this list but not the last book I read was ‘The Kite Runner’. I ought to have read it in English but my mother already had it in Dutch so I just read it in Dutch. We had to read it with the Literaturecommittee I’m a member of. I liked it, though not as much as the mass of people (it’s a bestseller as you probably know) likes it. It’s good but not great. I was touched by the book and that suprised me. It contained alot of feeling. What I disliked slightly were the cliches that were in there, especially near the end. That was a pity. The writer however is talking a lot about cliches as well and I think he did it on purpose. He believes a cliche is good if it is a good cliche and if it is written in a good style despite his teachers words. So he puts in cliches and in some way he proved to be right since he sold millions of copies and good criticism.
