so-soI did liked the book at first, there was a thriller type feel to it. But as it go on it transformed to a boring opinionated Indian history book with name of characters changed. The initial consistency of characters get lost in the later pages of the book. Any way Mr. Tharoor is somewhat successful in taking Mahabharata, the great Indian epic into the Times of Indian indipendence struggle.
pickThis book made me sob, cry, smile, laugh. It was like looking the Nazi Germany and concentration camp through the eyes of a small boy. Childhood Innocence was portrayed adorably on the book. The only thing I could say against this book is that it was extremely heart breaking when I finished the book. But I think that will definitely have a longlasting impact on the reader.
pickI have forced myself to read a lot of books. But no book have forced me to read it like A game of thrones. I love the way its written, especially the varying character POV. For a moment you will be in cold and green winterfell and the next you will be at hot and wild grass lands of Dothraki sea.
