Histoire De Mes Assassins (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
In short - Useless book... if you have not yet started. But once you start, you gotta finish it.In detail - The book is a useless one. Believe me, you'll say the same once you complete that. But you wont be able to keep it down till you finish it.Each assassin is a gem. The path that led them to their current life would want you to save them and cry for them, literally. Raping of sisters, mothers, wifes, etc., would become just words to you after some chapters.Sara.. What a character! You need to read the book to understand the full power she harnesses. But I don't understand why that power is used only to turn her ON! Literally, she is useless in the book, except to inform the lead guy about the assassins backdrop in single lines. But her characterization would want a Sara in your life.So many cut-throat straight words including my favorites "Chuthiya Nandan Pandeys" and "Mr. Peashooter" goes all along the book, keeps us wondering about the reality. But it mingles well with the characters.I was expecting the end to be much more of an answer to all assassin issues. But, I dont know why the end was such a blunt one. It made me brand the lead guy with both of my favorite words.There is nothing that you can take from the book. Just that you'll wait for the end.. soon! Difficult to get into, because of all the words I didn't know. But when I stopped worrying about the Hindi vocabulary and just got into the story, it simply carried me along. An amazing picture of various ways the underclass of India gets sucked into the criminal world. Lots of violence, which surprisingly I didn't mind. A plot that keeps building, though the resolution is a bit puny -- almost an add-on in the last chapter. But much better at showing the life of some real people in India than many other books I've read.
