Change of Mind: Memoirs

I had never read a memoir before reading Kite Runner. I had always assumed that memoirs were just boring reflection pieces, written by a person who thought other people would be interested in one of their memories. This is why I was so hesitant to read Kite Runner. Even though Kite Runner is a fictional memoir, it has changed my view of memoirs in general. I think it was good for me that my first memoir was actually a fictional memoir because it introduced me to the style of writing used in memoirs, while actually keeping my attention. I found that I actually really enjoy memoir style writing, and it is different than the style of writing I usually read. Kite Runner has made me think that I might I enjoy reading other memoirs, and my previous view of memoirs as being boring reflection pieces has been changed.
