Book Review of Shantaram

Shantaram

Helpful Score: 2


One of the best books I've read. I love the author's style of writing, he captures you in the first paragraph of the book. He portrays Bombay as if it were a character in the book and he develops the characters with a lot of detail, bringing you into everyone's lives. The book is full of philosophical gems and some twists and turns that are all resolved by the end of the book. I always find it fascinating to be brought into a different culture and this author does a excellent job of drawing you into the slums of Bombay and the world of the mafia.
