The Kite Runner
I just finished reading the book The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. I thought that this was going to be another political propaganda book but when I started reading it, that idea quickly faded. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It was a riveting story and it held my interest in every chapter, I even cried at a few points. I couldn't put it down. The reason why I felt it wasn’t propaganda is b/c I didn’t feel like someone was trying to sell me something or persuade me in any way. I came away with a new understanding of what the people of Afghanistan went through and what they had and still have to deal with.

So the book persuaded you to change your opinion of Afghanistan and it's people. Isn't that one of the signposts of propaganda?
