The Kite Runner, no departure

Just couldn't get past the 3rd chapter. I found it a bit too dry and slow. I've had wine's that have opened faster than this ;) I tried though, really I did but it just wasn't captivating me as it did for so many others. In fact a movie is due out on this in Dec 07 and might be worth renting when it makes it to the States. Back to the shelve for this one.
