A really good story...there's so much to pack in to 900ish pages!! Lin really gets around and gets into a lot of scrapes! I found myself telling my boyfriend that he'd enjoy it because it seems like it would be a manly tale of escaping prison, living in a slum, working for the bombay mafia and fighting a war BUT I know he'd hate it because of all the soppiness!!! It gets a bit much, even for little ol' girly me. If the soppiness, Karla's clever (but highly annoying) witticisms and Khaders great philosphies were cut out, this would be a much shorter book and much more of a page turner. It would move at a faster pace, it would be much more exciting as a result and I don't think you'd lose anything from the development of the characters. Mention must be made of Prabaker... my favourite character in the book! Honest, sweet, kind and hilariously funny... I laughed or smiled every time he was mentioned. I'd read a book on him alone!!
