"The epic "true" adventures of an Australian in India evoke the feel of that country brilliantly. The book could have done with shedding some weight, but reading it doesn't feel like a commitment."
"A bewildering and aimless tale of bureaucracy gone mad, the book's lack of focus is perhaps a clever reflection on its subject, or maybe just a proof that it was unfinished."
"A spy thriller so confusing I had to read a plot summary after finishing to find out what had happened. The story is actually very good, but I couldn't tell that from reading the book."
