    An absolute stunning representation of the dark side of humanity.. The filth ridden society... The mindset of the mob.. The violence and gore, the dark humor and irony makes this a total masterpiece.

    The book was a huge dissapointment and is pretty shitty to what i've come to expect from cohelo..

    It's one of his worst novels and i advice people to just ditch this one as it really dosn't give that positive paulo cohelo vibe

    • Rated 4 stars

    A verrrrrry gripping book... I didn't like the ending that much and thought it was quite bland after reading this fast paced book..

    Full of puzzles and riddles and ofcourse dan brown's facts

    A pretty interesting book, it explains economics of totally absurd things with a ton of witty remarks..

    For eg.
    Ever thought about the similarity between silk stockings and crack cocaine?

  • The Winner
    • Rated 4 stars

    This is the first book i've read by David Baldacci and am quite impressed by his style of writing. The book has a very well engineered plot which seems a bit unrealistic at times. It is a rags to riches story about a strikingly beautiful female caught in the ruthless web of poverty with only two assets, her beauty and her mind. She receives a unbelievable offer by a mysterious gentlemen known as Jackson to win the national lottery which will get her out of this hellish life she is currently leading. The only catch being she has to leave the country and never return to the states. She breaks the promise that made her rich and is caught in a net of destruction which can destroy all that she has ever lived for, her daughter. This spellbinding book is a page turner and is a must read for anybody who loves thrillers.

    This is the best book i've read about india..
    This is a book i can correlate with as i put up in New Delhi.. This Book is a rags to riches story about a village boy. The book is completely immoral to some people and totally sick in some aspects.. Nonetheless, who gives a damn!!. The book is awesome and a must read for anybody.. Specially if you don't live in India

    This book is about a man who is charged for sexual harassment by his new boss who coincidentally was his ex-girlfriend. The only catch is that it's the other way round. But...the rot runs deeper as he is engulfed into secrets of the company which CAN lead to his destruction. Read it or kill yourself.

    The book starts with a young man fleeing from an unknown assassin, only to find out that his father has already been murdered. He ventures out into the dark depths of space and gets himself into a relentless power struggle between the Tyranis(who currently rule "almost" the entire galaxy) and the rebels who want freedom...The Book is interesting with lots of futuristic stuff(you gotta complement this guy's imagination)...This is my first Asimov and I quite liked it and am planning to read his foundation series. A must read for all sci-fi fans. Pull out your laser blasters and rob the bookstore, or you can just go to the library!!!

    The book is definitely not a masterpiece, looking at the kind of language. The book is actually aimed for the masses, and for people who don't read. I could easily finish the book in less than two hours. It talks about a guy who somehow gets into IIT and messes up his grades there and gets into a shitload of trouble by the end of the year.

    Nonetheless this book is full of fun and is definitely worth a read. To conclude(and/or summarize) this review I would say that this book is "Superb Timepass"
