[edit] This bit is POV
"Apart from having this highly unusual personal background, Greg Roberts is a very gifted writer. His book is a blend of vivid dialogue, unforgettable characters, amazing adventures, and superb evocations of Indian life. It can be read as a vast, extended thriller, as well as a superbly written meditation on the nature of good and evil. It is a compelling tale of a hunted man who had lost everything - his home, his family, and his soul - and came to find his humanity while living at the wildest edge of experience."
Not only is this POV, it sounds like a press release. --Pellet 23:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not autobiography
See [Question 7 answer]. It reads like an autobiography and obviously much is from his memory but we must take him at his word that it is not an autobiography. --Tbeatty 04:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
