I read the book in 2 weeks, and I immediately started to re-read it. I"ve written out many quotes from it, just as Karla would have done. I am reading it out loud to my boyfriend who is a successful metaphysical author, Dick Sutphen. I was recommended to Shantaram by my manager at Borders Books, where I work. We both are voracious readers and we both think it is the best book we have ever read. We both purchased the book even though we can read any book in the store for free. I am telling all my friends and customers about this book. I will be giving copies for Christmas to my family. I had a wonderful visit to India with my husband (now ex) 11 years ago, and this book made me see it and smell it again so vividly. I successfully smuggled hash from Afghanistan in the early 70's and I spent time in prison for the same thing in LA, just after that. I loved Afghanistan but didn't like Pakistan so much. So I could really relate to this story. I sure hope the movie will be made. I think Johnny Depp would be better playing Didier, since he does gay so well. I don't know who should play Lin, except Gregory Roberts himself. I heard GDR is writing the screenplay. Good luck with all. Thanks for the youtube video postings, whoever is doing that.

I would have Imagined for a Better much Intence Character, George Clooney will be Good i suppose I really wonder if Johny Depp will be ableto or should even try to fill a Strong Character like Lin.

Both books give an insight into a world which is very different from the western techno-suburbia we are used to in this country (UK). When I watch slumdog I am constantly flicking to imaginary scenes from the unmade film version of shantaram and I keep wondering if this fil will ever be made. I understood the film rights were bought by Warner with the intention of actually making the film not just sitting on the rights. If they can't get their act together then they should pass them to somebody else, get hold of Danny Boyle - who obviously has afeel for India and its slums, and then get on and make the movie soon !

Not only is it a great adventure, but an unconventional love story of note.The relationships between Linbaba and Prabaker, Khaderbai and Abdullah were so beautifully described, it was impossible not to become emotional. Thank you Gregory David Roberts for a marvellous experience. A well spent Easter weekend.

I had this book passed on me to read, and I have continued passing it on after, it's one of the coolest books I have ever read. If this ever does become a movie, please do not give the lead role to johnny depp or russel crowe!! it will ruin the movie... Just like slumdog millionaire, i think it would be a huge success, with no name actors. I mean come on.. who wants to see johnny depp play that role. Shantaram was such an awesome story.

After hearing of Slumdog's success, I think Shantaram the movie could level, or even beat it's success. Intriguing and gripping storyline from start to finish. It's a book that goes through many emotions, and something that people can relate to. I was sad when I had finished the book. I don't know what to read next, how can anything compare to that! I hope Gregory brings out a sequel book on what happens next! Please please please bring out the movie! I absolutely love this book and am sure I will never tire of it. After reading this book, I've started to learn Hindi, and am determined to make my first trip over to India. I’ve just finished reading this book.

An incredible world that the book dragged me into and I couldn't get out. It really grabbed my attention. I would have to thank Johnny Depp though because if he wasn't trying to make a movie of it I would have never seen the world Gregory Roberts brought me. When I found out about the possible movie I ran out and bought myself a copy. So thank you Johnny for bringing this book to my attention and thank you Gregory Roberts for writing such a phenomenal piece of literature.
