1. Mohsin Hamid is the only one who is going to benefit from this self-help book. But that's given of all self-help books. Or may be of all books.

2. I've rated it 3 stars but frankly I'm being generous. Mr. Hamid deserves a solid 2-star.

3. The book probably has 1000 thousand words of actual dialogue. That is shattering. Mr. Hamid. Bring back the Dialogue. Too Terse ain't wondrous writing. It is plain lazy imagination.

Mohsin Hamid is probably the most gifted novelist writing now in south Asia. In this book, as in its predecessor, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Hamid takes us inside the mind of the protagonist in a really slim volume. Having read "Fundamentalist" in one sitting, I was more careful to draw out the experience of this book by pausing every few short chapters.

Average book.

Wonderful experience reading the book.

Flipkart services: Good

Story: Average as compared to Moth Smoke and Reluctant Fundamentalist

Writing: The style, language of writing is awesome; a classic of Mohsin Hamid

The third time's not a charm. Mohsin, disappoints me after his two stunning novels. While I always loved his style of narration, this one too had a unique narrative but fails to be engaging. It simply lacks soul like his first two books. Except at parts, this book can be avoided.

I read this book, I still feel the 1st one was amazing then any of the two.It had strange thoughts, visions and at the end devastation of the protagonist.How to get filthy rich is about the rules required to get rich. Calling us as the Hero that was well done job.I felt it was getting carried away .Pattern was confusing words were a ? to me.Read it if you are fan of Mohsin hamid .
