“An amazing story with many themes: love, friendship, war, the meaning of life, etc. The "hero" is a very complex character. Lots of beautiful writing.”

One of my favorite quotes :
“She loved the guy. She did it for him. She would’ve done anything for him. Some people are like that. Some loves are like that. Most loves are like that, from what I can see. Your heart starts to feel like an overcrowded lifeboat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, and your self-respect and your independence. After a while you start throwing people out—your friends, everyone you used to know. And it’s still not enough. The lifeboat is still sinking, and you know it’s going to take you down with it. I’ve seen that happen to a lot of people here. I think that’s why I’m sick of love.”
Wow! Could anyone have ever thought of a better analogy for love? I think not!”“http://slishacrazy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/shantaram.html
