Informative and easy reading

I have read a few books of this author and this one clearly stands out from the rest. What strikes about this book is its honesty and simplicity. Dr. Singh has been brutally frank in this book about his sexual escapades and his own shortcomings. Dr. Singh has been in the middle of many defining moments of the Indian History and his accounts of these events provide a gripping reading. It is surprising that, someone would take this book to court and prevent it from reaching the public for 6+ years. This book has definitely affected me and will remain in my collection for a long while.

excellent

the book is written in a simple language easy to understand and no point of time the reader looses its interest in the book because of small sexual malices (...) Overall it becomes a very good reading book.

WOW-( in capitlat letters)

first of all i did not know who this guy was before i picked the book. i read the prologe just to check it out. lets just say the words just grabed my throat and pulled me into the book.... i am serious guys this is an amazing book...beautiful. " what the hell is this about?" ok ok it starts at the begining of his life...soon you will notice the way he describe the secenes and events are both beatuiful and humorous.. and then you will discover his honesty, unparallel to any other author i know, for egxample how he got confused and angry at his father after seeing him having sex with his mother.... the book ends with his philosophy which is very admiarable and interesting. this book will change your life there is no question about it. i mean this guy wrote this book when he was around late 80's he has seen so much in history. He was friends with neheru, indra ghandi, and other leaders in the world...and the most elite and famous writers of different generations...and he writes in this killer honesty, even about his first sexual eprerience".. respectability and honesty: not a combination you will encounter very often. this book will add new color to your life.
