Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts (2005, Paperback, Reprint)

This book takes the reader on an unbelievable journey where the ultimate destination is surrender. It is beautifully written. I couldn't put it down.

Shantaram is my favorite book of all times. I bought this book from a roadside stand in a random village in India to read on all my train rides. It captivated me from page 1. Not only is there a mind-altering poignant point made on ever other page, but the story is an epic that you're unable to shake long after finishing the book. It is a must! and I recommend it to everyone.

I have read this book before. I think that it is amazing. I have shared the title with many friends, and all that have bought the book really enjoyed it. I have bought the book two more times as gifts and I have given my book to a friend to read. I would almost say that it could be a life changing book, depending on the reader and how they interperet things. Great book.

i loved that my book came in wonderful packaging, there was no bends, tears, or anything negative. It arrived at my house quickly. just like it said that it would. thank you!!

The book was very well written and gave many insights into a culture so different from ours. The length was a little daunting and at times it was difficult to keep track of the characters. It was recommended to me by a friend.

Everything about this book ames me want to read it over and over again. Roberts' use of autobiographical events to set the stage for this novel is bth cmpelling and engaging. The reader is immediately drawn to his courage, his exceptional candor, and the way he chooses his words.

This book has just about every element that you could ask for in a book: crime, love, redemtion, deceit, friendsip, death; and while it is long (over 1000 pages) you will never know where the time went and be wishing it would never end.

Highly recommended and you can quote me on this: this will be one of the best books you've ever read.
