Shantaram is a big and heavy book. It took me from September to January to finish this, not that I read everyday, but still, I tend to finish books faster. I didn't manage to read a lot at the time. However, it is one of the most amazing books I've ever read.It's not exactly fiction, and it's not ex...
I loved this book - it's as compelling and rich in detail as a Renaissance painting. Its beauty is severe, though - life in Mumbai's slum cities is a harsh life, and the experiences described in this novel (based on Roberts' own life) can be harrowing. But it is an amazing, breathtaking tour de fo...
This is my happy dance:as I finally, finally finished this one after a whole month of struggling and avoiding my iPod so I wouldn’t have to listen to one more Linbaba self-glorification story.Let me explain…What started out as a 5 star book slowly turned into 3 stars, then 2 stars and at times even ...
This is so far from the type of thing I usually read, and I can hardly put my finger on why I loved it..all I can say is I found it to be a rollicking great adventure...based loosely on a true story..in this case 'truth is stranger than fiction' I think..

This book is like that bloke (usually English)who hangs out all day in the hostel waiting to ambush someone and tell them about how great & adventurous...
Wow... took me almost two months to read this book! It wasn't a bad or boring book, but it just wasn't a page-turner either, and for a book of 900+ pages, that's really to its own detriment.I can't really figure out whether it's a novel or a memoir. From what I've been able to gather through online ...
I have spent the last two weeks in Roberts's seductive, chaotic, slum filled, audacious Bombay, full of vibrant, wonderful, charismatic characters. This is a grand, sprawling, intelligent, autobiographical novel, elegantly written and splendidly evocative of an India I would otherwise never know. A...
This book has everything..action, romance, mumbai mafia, hint of humour, emotions, philosphy....a foriegner writing about Mumbai city with each and every minute detail....AMAZING read !!!
