Now if you are among that kinds who are always (or may be occasionally) looking for something to rock your nerves, then this is the book for you. I can say that this book will rock you for sure no matter what are your satisfying degrees. I cant understand that why an Indian writer has to write a complicated novel (well mostly...e.g. The God of Small Things, Salman Rushdie etc.) but as far as this book is concerned, it is worth taking the initial pains of confusions which usually results in not-too-experienced readers to put away the piece and never to try it again (I did it with Catch 22 !). The book’s got a real amazing surprising element and you just cant guess even the next chapter.
When you first see the initial pages and read the comments and reviews, you are bowled then and there but as you proceed with the novel a suspicion creep into your head about the genuineness of the comments outside but slowly the novel grips you and you just cant put it down anymore.
The only flaw with the novel is the near excessive use of slangs and military terms. But at the end you find yourself using words like ’’mossies’’ for terrorists.
I hope that you will also enjoy the novel as much I did.
