5.0 out of 5 stars Nicely told and well researched story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2018

Finished the book.
I am not a reader of fiction but it must be the fastest I've read a fiction book.
The story was well connected, well researched, fast and fascinating to keep the reader engaged and there were a lot of philosophical links nicely placed in the fiction.
Also, this first book definitely ends in a curious way opening door for bringing next episodes to the readers.
Considering this is one of the first books from the writer, I am sure he is well set for a writing career and maybe take the next book's story a bit slower to let the reader immerse in some details as they go through the journey. However, this book was nicely fast paced for the first look into Balu's life.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

An excellent read. Thriller with a philosophical message. If you have grown up in small town in India you would identify with the characters. Real incidents woven into the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good eye opener

Reviewed in France on 7 June 2018

Verified Purchase

I found this book very easy to read for a non native English speaker. I particularly enjoyed the first part of the story located in India which gives a fantastic and rich outlook of the life and the habits of people from Hindu and Muslim communities in Allahabad. Looking forward to the follow up which hopefully will give us even more insight on local life in India.
