If I had to write a sequel, I would love for it to bring a lot more awareness into the stigma of sexual harassment as well as the conservative society of Afghanistan and other similar countries. Like, it would be shown through Sohrab's journey towards healing, living, and gaining trust back into Amir. Amir would still be the main character, describing the outward changes and experiences with Sohrab and Soraya. I would think Amir would slowly come to believe that Sohrab is his, like a sort of how Baba loved Hassan (through outsider's eyes, it was servant-master; through Baba, it was father-son). I would find that Amir would grow out of his instability and sort of become a new "Baba" figure in America; it seems like a good path for him because Baba was charitable to atone for his own sins, just like how Amir is trying to atone for his own.
I would LOVE to recommend this book, just not for the faint hearted + extremely imaginative readers. It's an extremely well-written book, it pulls at your heart and you can almost NOT put your book down. I found it to be very dramatic, almost empathetic, and a very heart-racing, with secrets, regrets, and so scary. Especially with this unforgettable quote "For you, a thousand times over." It's written as though it's a personal story, even though it's a fictional novel. I really hope that people give The Kite Runner a chance and revel in its story line!
