  Is it based on a true story?

    David Gregory Roberts calls “Shantaram” a novel, but it is strongly autobiographical

        funny enough, they've been attempting to make this novel into a tv series

  Really enjoyed the book. That said, there’s been plenty of commentary from the family that took care of him and others saying he took advantage of others and wasn’t nearly as kind/noble as he claims to be. Consider it fiction (“inspired by true events”) and it’s a good read.

    Funny that. When I read it the first time I thought he was a bit self loving and didn’t really believe that it was as true as made out to be. Still not a bad story though

  One of my favourite books.

  Couldn't get through the sequel though, anyone else the same? Should I perservere?

  • 

    Hypnotoad on 27/01/2022 - 11:39

    Same, the sequel was interminable and I couldn't finish it.

    FinnFinn on 27/01/2022 - 11:40

    I didn't know there was a sequel!

    Shantaram was my travel companion on long flights, loved the book!

  Fantastic read.

  Forget if it is true or not.
  Some powerful examples of language that speaks to you makes it worth reading for that alone.
