Yes I have read it. 'Shantaram' by Gregory David Roberts...
I gotta tell you, its an epic in every sense of the word. Quality wise and Size wise too...almost 1000 pages in length. But on retrospect, U arent wasting your time on this humongous novel - Coz its truly worth it.
A once is a lifetime experience! The fictional account of the author's real life which genuinely reflects raw, crude life and pierces your mind. Wonderful and immensely captivating Novel. An absolutely stunning Blockbuster of a Book, A Sojourn of a Lifetime. A Great adventure. A Daring experience. Youu know, one of those books which are truly Explosive! I recommend it highly, One of the best books I have ever read 😊

^^cant agree more!!read this book if you are looking for an excellent literary work that takes you through so many aspects of life that you could possibly not have been able to go through on your own.
This is one book that makes you feel that all your effort invested in reading habit worthwhile😊
