We had to include this book on the reading list of party, as it is one of the most frequently recommended for intrepid travelers. And Lisa Connor is one of the ones that give a big thumbs up ...
"My favorite book is always Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. He was a heroin and bank robber in the 1970s, escaped from an Australian prison al3ab and then went to Mumbai, India. al3ab This book is the story of his life there, living in the slums, the adventures with the mafia, land travel and more.
It has passion, romance, adventure and philosophy! You have to buy this book, as I have stressed many travel revelations of his life. And it's 900 pages, so it continues. His description of India is so vivid that you can almost smell the streets of Mumbai. I've probably been at least 20 copies of this book as a gift, so it is highly recommended. '
If a book has inspired travel or simply a great read while on the road, please intrepidexpress@intrepidtravel.com email - we will know a little of what it is also an indication of the size, and we'd love to hear your recommendation of a large backpack book!

I have purposely boycotted "Shantaram" because I do not believe in supporting a bank robber. People would do better to give money to charity instead of helping this person with the purchase of his book.
My colleague was raving about this book, but I think it is poorly written and the author is a total asshole. I was in India in 1980 for one year, and the criminal as Gregory al3ab who, with over inflated al3ab egos, were a paise a dozen in that period, both in India, here in Australia and New Zealand, where I born. They are a product of its time and certainly not be subsidizing the lifestyle rocked by purchasing al3ab this book, even if you think you have redeemed the work for the poor.
I agree with Lyn-put your money elsewhere! I have this book and read it in Mumbai while traveling through India, and above all I was impressed with how vain and arrogant author. In short, al3ab is a fictionalized account al3ab of his life and he never said to be non-fiction. You can check out various websites that debunk many of his stories. al3ab This is a page-turner, indeed. Was passed through my entire al3ab trip group interpid
