Mr THaroor's story telling skills impressed me when I picked up Riot, the narrative used, the characters involved make the book an interesting read. One more important takeaway after reading Tharoor is that you always gain something out of it. Erudite Tharoor's books have a generous sprinkling of those gems of knowledge. His selection of words is ne plus ultra. However, Showbusiness disappointed me, probably because I picked it up after riot, as a similar , yet less interesting narrative is used in SB. ST has said that despite the similarities that can be drawn between Bachchan Sr's life and Ashok banjara, he did not intend it to be so. Probably he was being diplomatic there. Anyways the review was good :). Also check how they do a professional review. Reviews of this book are available at www.shashitharoor.com Interesting review!
