The title was apt for the story which is all about the extraordinary life of a person named Max Bulandi.
The language was pretty simple but there were many things I had to research. There were many words and phrases that I’d unheard of. Also, there were many Hindi/Indian words mentioned.
The most intriguing word was blitzkrieg.
This story was about Max Bulandi, a man who was charming, had a mixed reputation and possessed natural leadership skills that helped create an unforgettable mark in many people’s lives. Due to his unique intellect, he was known by various names and experienced an extraordinary existence wherever he went.
*This book surely shows how orphaned children go through life despite having known people around them. And how people (adults known to them) turn against them instead of helping them.
*It teaches us what children can do in the absence of their parents.
*It was good to learn about another world altogether. Have you heard of Woodstock ‘69, Venus in Fur or Smack? I hadn’t. You also get to know, in detail, about rock songs, drug names and what poverty, when combined with them, can make people do.
I found no grammatical errors though I think one name was miswritten on page 210.
There were too many things from Max Bulandi’s world that I was unaware of; like pulling lines off a mobile phone, spliff, Malana Cream, Alverman chillum, smooth isolator cream, slow burn serotonin wave, four skins of Riza, flower power, using smack, rock band names and drug names.
Even when I read autobiographies of famous people, I don’t really enjoy the minute details. Max Bulandi’s life was told by his friends, music mates and girlfriend. I must say that if I had known Max Bulandi in some way, I would’ve probably enjoyed the book a bit. But reading about someone’s life story, however eventful, in so much detail felt quite draggy and didn’t seem to interest me.
Maybe if it was merely a 100-page book, I would’ve enjoyed it, but this book had too much detail and no real storyline so not really my type.
However, if you enjoy such books, perhaps you will enjoy this one, too.
