Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts - Part 2

i was amazed by khaderbahi, He was a incredibly wise man

Best book I've ever read.

The replication of how people speak, the well drawn characters, and the beautiful poetic literary language, and the range of emotions from humour and irony to sadness make Shantaram a masterpiece. Shantaram describes it as a novel not a biography but it replicates and expresses the truth of his experiences.

coz of Abdul Kader and Karla. I guess it was something to test him and prepare for the war in afghanistan.

just finished the novel -wow, what a read. All you haters are just jealous. Lived or not-this is a work of fiction people. There is not a disclaimer stating this is totally written from experience. The best writers mix truth with the exceptional to create a story. Do you think Keruoac or Tolstoy wrote 100% from their exact experiences? No way. And who cares, it's the final words left on the paper that tell the whole story. Word.

I'm reading the book and I have to say that the writing is exceptional. I've been to India, and what he expresses about the people there is absolutely true. The beauty is beyond any words and the feeling from the people, well, Linbaba is the only author which has captured it.

Me!!!

Where did you get this info from?

Shantaram is one of my fav books, Gregory David or Lin , if i may call him, knows how to keep the reader inclined towards the book. After the book got over i felt as if i had lost something and the fun i had reading it just got over, i hope he comes up with a sequel

one of the top 5 books I ever read...
boom shiva boom mahadev bembaleh...
