Book Reviews of Sacred Games: A Novel (P.S.)
Book Review: A Dreadful Time In India.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had high hopes for this novel, as I thought we had another Khaled Hosseini in our midst. However, it was unfortunately not to be. This paperweight of a book is quite a bore. The main character is as mundane as sheet rock. I could not finish this tome. The author seemed to have a dreadful lack of self-confidence in his literary acumen. So much so that he went overboard trying to make up for his shortcomings. The proses continue listlessly ad infinitum. He seemingly writes just to fill the page.Book Review: This book rocks.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not even finished with this book (170 pages left to go) but I feel compelled to write a review because this book is simply great. It's emotional, it's suspenseful, it's beautifully written... in short, it's everything you're looking for. It's one of those books where you don't want it to end, so it's actually fortunate it's so hefty. Don't read anymore about it - just order it. You won't regret it.Book Review: Good book but disappointed a bit after reading Shantaram
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this book but wish I had not read Shantaram before. If you liked this, Shantaram is a 100 times even better. Now that's a book about Bombay street life, slums, police etc and it's based on true events (by Gregory David Roberts). It will be one of the best books you will have ever read. Everything else seems bland next to that so I wish I had not read it until a few years from now .Book Review: not a problem with the vender
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is fine - no problems. Unfortunately it was sent by UPS, and I never got it. I had to complain to Amazon, and they sent me (very promptly) a second copy. A week later, I got notice that the first copy was returned as "undeliverable". We were here the whole time. USPS, in our experience, is much more reliable.
Book Review: Good work by Vikram Chandra
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is hard to keep away. I managed to finish the book in 3 days and my workouts and work suffered for those three days. I have a problem with the galis (cuss words) though in every other sentence and seems superfluous. Overall a well researched book and would definitely read more from the author in future.
