Interesting and Fast Paced
The entire book is based on facts and when you are attempting such a work of non-fiction, it takes a lot of courage and good writing skills to keep the reader interested.
And trust me you won't feel bored even for a single page.
Its thrilling and its fast paced.
What I liked the most is how the author has described, most of the things with minutest of details and given his views on the incidences.

Awesome Collection of Events.
He has provided a narration for almost all the Mafia Events for almost half a century.
The narration is so powerful you would be enchanted in the journey as well as would be able to fantasize the events in your own style, after all evry one is a hero in his own story.
It is a must read for every History fanatic as well as nation enthusiast.
I rate it a Perfect 5 ,it deserves it.

Decent book, good style of writing
The book gives a lot of information on the underworld of Bombay. People familiar with Bombay will be able to relate to places and incidents described in the book. Zaidi has a superb style of writing and succeeds in keeping you engaged.
Cons:
You get a feeling that the book is not well researched and is based on hearsay and myth. Being from Bombay, I have heard some of these stories since my childhood. Few pages in to the book and you get a feeling that the intent of this book is to glo...
