lol... that was a great review.. ;-) My experience has been that most people who leave these what I call 'generic' comments are those who haven't bothered to read the review.

I loved the book too. One of my friends strongly recommended it to me. I didn't complain one bit. I agree with you that author seems to lose the fervor in the later parts of the book.

So today the Supreme Court saved face of the inept home ministry led by Honorable Shivraj Patil. If Shivraj Patil had been such a failure in any corporate, he would have been shown the door by now.

Sad!! When I argue with my friends you believe in Marxist Socialism, I use this as an example. Socialism has never worked and it will never work because it discourages people from working hard.

Hi Kirti, I am not a celebrity or anything. I am just one of those lesser mortals whose junk people liked. :-) Well, I did not struggle to finish the book to be honest.

Hmmm This is an age old debate. Ethics/Morality vs freedom to chose. Personally, I am against abortion, unless the infant or the mother has some serious health issues. At the same time, I think that everybody should have a right to chose. Who are we to tell someone if they should have a kid or not. read more...
