Captivating book all the way... till 3/4 or so, then I started to loose interest. Still good but it feels like 2 or 3 books crammed together, and the last couldn't keep up.
Ein Buch mit vielen Schwächen, trotzdem gern gelesen. (Außerdem ein weiterer Band für die "Bibliothek der übermäßig von sich selbst eingenommenen Erzähler").
WOW. What an awesome story. The first few pages didn't suck me in, but after the first 30, I was stuck. Excellent story about a guy who escapes from prison, ends up in Bombay, and figures out what it is that life is all about.
