I didn't really like it all that much. Geralt was featured in maybe 10 pages only, and in those he was largely useless. Ciri makes for an interesting heroine, and that is the books only saving grace.
To be honest, during the first few chapters I thought it was going to suck. (I mostly dislike the "urban fantasy" type books) but I was wrong. This was really very good, and I'll be looking for more of his books.
Definitely not one of his best. There are a few gaping plot-holes.[return]The time capsule discussions are fascinating, especially since there is one not 2Km from my home.
Shantaram reads too much like a soap opera for my liking. It is a good book, but there is a lot of fluff and starry eyed love stuff. This book could have been at least 300 pages shorter, and the story would have been better and more powerful. Still, a good read, but you have to skip the fluffy stuff every now and again.

It has it's moments, but generally not very good.
I loved this book, couldn't put it down! [return]With 50 pages to go I was worried that the author wouldn't be able to finish the story in time! :o)
