    This one is a genuine Sandipan Deb masterpiece - a must read for the global, and the local, Indian

    An aptly named and objectively and incisively written masterpiece. For all those who never knew when and how the Great Indian Brain Exodus to the US via the Ivy League universities started, why even the average Indian professional can now aspire to ride the Washington Accord to the US, in a manner of speaking, why US Indians don't really run, a la the Chinese (just stating facts, no offence meant), street thug gangs in their hard-earned new homeland but still end up on the wrong side of the l...

    Hollywood Script!

    An interesting, researched and well documented book. For me key take away was Games People Play and how 'inadvertently' some of them who inspite the fact are so highly Educated, widely Respected and very Rich, yet become pawns in the hand of few and end up loosing everything including freedom (as in metaphor).

    Partying thought, the book is well written from the perspective that it gave a feeling that a Bollywood/ Hollywood movie could be made out of it.

    Cheers!

    Must Read :)

    Just finished reading it...
    An easy to read novel.The author explores each and every aspect related to Rajat Gupta. He carefully explains all that needs to be explained.In the end, the only question which would've struck the reader's mind after reading the first few chapters still remains unanswered ? Must Read !!
    Intense and emotionally thrilling.

    simply excellent

    Did read it in a straight 8 hours stretch. period. Book mainly deals with insider-trading scam in stock market and their background plots explained in a dramatic way.

    Flipkart as-usual flawless in their logistics.

    Good Read! More of a fact file than a biography !

    The book has good facts collated! But is has no opinion! the reader is left to deicde if Rajat was the culprit or not!

    The court proceedings and media coverage is covered beautifully but the book lacks impact! Not much details on the life of Rajat Gupta though!
    But

    Definately read it once!
