Shantaram-gregory david roberts

the name itself looks so boring at the first glance.add to it the dull cover.......appearances are so deceptive..Do not be deterred by the book's simple showing.check out the inside.
The first time i saw this book was at a friend's place.I had just started reading it when my mom called and i had to go home.Sadly the book was not seen by my eyes for more than a year.Blame it on studies.Finally when i caught hold of it i was not ready to let go.It revolves around the life of a foreigner who is a wanted fugitive.it is his fight against the forces ........ he recounts his experience living the maximum city(mumbai).His english is impeccable and often astonishing.There have been times i have been compelled to look up a thesaurus.The content is good and with his recitation it is excellent.Though in the third part the story goes a little a awry.
The description of the characters given by him his great.The main reason of his best selling novel is the description he gives.The character of madame zhou sends a shiver through the spine.Prabaker is also a nice character .Overall the book sums up a nice reading and one more important advice..........Don't forget your dose of caffeine!!
