Julia Flyte said Flowery and overwritten, but holds your interest. Like many others, I loved Shantaram: A Novel, and so I approached this sequel with an equal mix of anticipation and trepidation. Could Gregory David Roberts repeat the magic? The short answer is no. This book isn't nearly as good as Shantaram, and worse, it has the potential to make Shantaram seem worse in retrospect. But having said that, it's not a total disaster either. I read it in a week, and despite its near 900 page length, I never lost interest nor found it hard to stay with.The Mountain Shadow is set two years after the events of Shantaram. Lin is still living in Bombay and working . Another epic quest for love and redemption R Candlewood I loved Shantaram, and approached The Mountain Shadow with some trepidation. The last thing you want with a great book is a followup that takes away everything you loved about it.I am happy to say that isn't the case here. The Mountain Shadow is a very different book. Lin is still in a bad situation in Bombay, but not as bad as it was in Shantaram. (How could it be?) He's not with the woman he loves, he's still working for the mob, and he finds himself in very rough situations almost immediately. "The future always looked like fire, and the past was still too dark." But in this book he's fun. Jack McDonald said Huge Disappointment. This book is terrible. Nearly 1,000 pages of almost nothing but rambling faux philosophy. Shantaram is one of my favorite books I have ever read, and this is probably my least favorite. The only reason I suffered through the whole thing was because I loved Shantaram so much, and I kept hoping this one would pick up. I read all of Shantaram in a couple of days because I could not unglue myself from it. It took me about a month to read The Mountain Shadow. It felt like a chore I had to do every day and it was difficult to ever get through more than Huge Disappointment This book is terrible.

Praise for The Mountain Shadow:Roberts is brilliant at creating a sense of menace and projecting the constant tension of the escaped convict, living on his wits, waiting to be murdered or betrayed at any moment Crucially, he is also a man who loves and understands India Nearly 900 pages of pure escape.”—Sunday Times (UK)Roberts’s sequel to Shantaram defies easy categorization, one of its many charms. The dashing hero Lin, an Australian fugitive, is worldly, two-fisted, rides a motorcycle, has a social conscience, quotes great writers and, as the book opens, struggles bravely to get over his lost love, Karla He narrates his interactions with many larger-than-life street types in an energetic and often salty first person . Like a voodoo ghost snatcher, Gregory David Roberts has captured the spirits of
