Incredible! Extraordinary!,
By
This review is from: Shantaram: A Novel (Paperback)
This book is just simply extraordinary in every sense! It has action, excitement, romance, intrigue, history, philosophy, travel, and so much more. One would think, with so many topics covered, that it would be a confusing mish-mash, but it is nothing of the sort. It is spell-binding - very hard to put down - & written with such smooth beauty and depth, that many passages take your breath away. The writer was born to write. It is obviously semi-autobiographical, which makes it even more fascinating. I most highly recommend this novel as an absolutely satisfying and fascinating experience, on many levels! Read it!

Fantastic book, fantastic reader,
By
This review is from: Shantaram (Audio CD)
The book is fantastic - beautifully poetic language and insights into humanity. The reader of the audio book is potentially even better - he's made it so that you can easily distinguish about 50 different characters based on voice, all with the right accents (French, Italian, Spanish, London, Oxford, US, Australian, and dizzyingly many types of Indian). Also women and men are easily distinguished. A work of art.

Great novel!,
By
This review is from: Shantaram: A Novel (Paperback)
Love this book! I feel as though I have actually crawled through the streets of Bombay. A friend had recommended this book and I was afraid it would be too tough to endure reading it - but that is not the case. Just realistic and a mesmerizing, exciting adventure that has caused me to value the life I have. There are little treasures of wisdom embedded throughout the story. I was lucky enough to be snowed in with this book! Just be sure to buy the paperback form as it's so long (happy to say)! One of the best books I have ever read.
