Shantesh Patil

Initially it might be a little hard to get comfortable with the style of writing. Once I was a few pages in though I was pretty hooked. This is a funny, moving and uncomfortable read at times. It never shys away from anything. It's the thoughts of a teenager laid bare to greatest extent possible.

Great addition to the series with an awesome last line revelation

This is an absolutely fantastic collection of short stories. Equal parts morbid, dark and funny Tejaswini has a gift for words. Each story is compelling in it's own right. I had a great time reading this collection and look forward to more after this incredible debut

This a very different kind of book that plays with all your expectations of narrative structure. I was initially daunted by the length of the novel and wondered how long I would take to complete it. However once I began I found myself reading at a much faster pace than I thought I would. It's a gripping experience that is written from multiple perspectives but not necessarily divided by chapters, but often times within the same page itself. Overall an extremely well produced book with major props to the physical quality of the book too.

This book is a collection of stories about Indians who have moved away from their motherland. It's about their lives and trials and tribulations and most of the stories have no happy endings. Still the author's writing is exceptional and I read through the book faster than I expected too.

A good read. You need to take your time in reading this. Highly recommended for both Atheists and Believers. It's practical and every argument for Atheism is cogently conveyed.

Got this one as part of the Humble Ebook Bundle. Interesting plot about a scenario where humans have had to settle underwater in huge ships. Reasonably fast paced and good central characters. A sequel would have been great.

A good read overall. The author tells us about India as it really is. The only weak aspect was the primary motivation behind the characters' one main action.

Expected something more from the author of the Bartimeaues Trilogy.

An incredible fantasy story in the form of an autobiography set against the trials and tribulations of pre and post independence India. A deserved winner of the Booker award. Equal parts funny and poignant Rushdie's sparkling prose and fascinating cast of characters kept me hooked until the very end.

Great artwork and it has more depth to the story than the title might suggest. Too bad though that it covers only part of the story

A pacing of this one was much better than the first ,probably because the first book needed time to establish the character of Shiva. Like the first the struggle to truly grasp what is good and evil remains an interesting thread that runs throughout the series so far. Definitely looking forward to the 3rd book expected by the end of the year.

One of the best collections of scifi stories I have ever read. A triumph of imagination and creativity, as well a brilliant portrayal of how humanity could be affected by the future.
