Is this story well?

I read Kite Runner some time back,loved the narrative element of the novel but laughed to death at the accommodating ending.Its sad to see a book hold so much promise and then fall into the clutches of cliched easy-way-out plot.I do wish the writer didn't bargain a reality for closure.sad.

Makes me wonder if bestsellers often play out on the miserable elements of life to gather fan base rather than portray the whole scenario.Its like all things happy are not desirable when playing on roots and ethnic characters.I am not sure i can say a "God of small things" or any other flavored book is an fair insight.There is something about the success of tragedy that makes people hold it as a more true account of the state of affairs, thats tragedy enough!Few Romanians were complaining on imdb forum how the movie - 4 Months,3 Weeks and 2 Days-gave a crooked account of the current situation.I have to agree that the creative individuals are falling prey to a new form of conformism,they find focusing on the dirt specific to a society increasing its authenticity and ethnicity.It just makes me feel they aren't putting the effort to see beyond the bling bling tragedies! I might be completely out of line here,but i am a little confused global viewer-the news channels have agendas and the movies or books are letting us down.May be we need to be shown better understanding of WHY they exist or HOW it can be changed rather than just reporting the tragic heart wrenching stories.Conformism ,which isn't the primary motive ,is hard to be pointed out.

There was a discussion earlier on a forum as whether to call Oscar Wilde a "free thinker" or not. Just completed "Picture of Dorian Gray",Oscar Wilde's only novel.On the face of it the book seems to be rebellious with its homosexual undertones and pursuit of senses,but the cynic in me wonders whether disguising the sexual implications was an act of conformism by Wilde! Then again i can't make a stand unless we weigh this in relation to the society during Mr.Wilde's time,because he might have broken a taboo for those times!All this discussion leads to the ultimate question on the definition of free thinker and conformist.How much importance should be attached to these labels to begin with? Granted that our societies are imperfect,to say the less, and a man should apply his discretion in his actions.There is this speck of good in the society and does conforming to those aspects be tabooed by the radicals?May be thats where a free thinkers part ways with the radicals and rebels of the world!
