 What a Wonderful Surprise! July 29, 2010
P. McBride (littleton, CO United States)
I was in a bookstore in Denver (The Tattered Cover)and the owner was recomending it to a friend of hers, I picked it up that day and began reading. Two days later I was finished and sad to see it end! This book is fantastic. It is very descriptive and spiritual haunting, and healing.
I do not normally like books that are overly descriptive, and this book is that andd more, but I did not mind it. You will totally be able to imagine down to the smell of life in India.
this book will not appeal to everyone but to those who don't mind a lot of description, they will be rewarded with a truely great book!
One of the best July 27, 2010
T. Evans (Ypsi, MI)
I loved this book. You really get to know the characters as if they were friends of yours or a close neighbor. I love the way the author described India as if it was always born from his heart. And you can tell he really loved the characters. I have to wonder though, is this book really about the author or someone he made up based on his own life? I think it's about him and he just changed a few things around. (smiles) Either way the book was amazing.
 Really? July 26, 2010
Andrea P. Stevens (Chevy Chase, MD United States)
I read a lot, and love books about India, but seriously, this book does not measure up in any way to "A Fine Balance" or "White Tiger." The self-absorbed main character has led a colorful life (of crime, drugs, mafia, laced occasionally with healing the sick while living in the slums, befriending the poor & downtrodden) but after a while the minutiae of his days get downright tedious and annoying. Where was an editor for this?
