Unpopular opinion : I hated the Kite runner

I might get down voted for this but who cares. I read the Kite runner six years ago and didn't like it, in fact, it made me angry.

It was the passive and coward protagonist. I couldn't justify to myself why am I reading about this piece of shit person who wants to be called brave in the end with its unrealistic heroic climax which was so unlike the character he had built/written. Almost had a Bollywood feel to it.

I found the character's sudden change totally unrealistic and lacking drama. It was a weak man's fantasy.

What I liked? It deals with the topic of abuse which I appreciated and was moved by it, but then coward protagonist made me even more furious.

P. S - It has been a long time since I read it so i might not remember all the details now, posted this to share my experience of the book.

Edit 1 : I wansn't thinking so much when I wrote 'wants to be called brave'. was just a figure of speech so take it with a grain of salt please? Apologies for that
