Kite Runner: coming to a close (HUGE SPOILERS!!)

So, when I left off Amir was right in the beginning of his life in America. Right now, I'm at a point where he has gotten married but he has a dilemma. His wife can't get pregnant! It's so sad, but they're both successful adults now, which I'm happy about. One day Amir got a phone call from his dad's old best friend asking him to come see him. Amir goes, and finds his dad's old best friend Rahin Khan terribly sick. He asks Amir for one dying wish to go and fetch Hassan's son. He tells Amir of the life when Hassan lived with him and about his son. He then tells Amir that he is Hassan's brother. Hassan is beyond freaking out and is so angry because he feels that his life was just a lie. After a quick temper tantrum, he comes back and he decides that he will go get Hassan's son Sohrab. He is living in the slums of an orphanage. Amir treks across Afghanistan with this man Farid. None of Afghanistan is the way he remembers it. It's so sad the visuals you see him describe. They remind me of slum dog millionaire with all the poverty and orphans. It just makes me so angry and sad. It makes you want to travel across the country at that moment and take fifty kids home with you. It really does. I am really hoping that I can finish this book by next week because it's at a dramatic moment right now and I really want to finish!
