Query: Struggling to see the fuss .....

I'm a voracious reader of some intelligence I believe, and have also spent a decent amount of time in India....including the location of this book.I have had Shantaram on my bookshelf for some time, and despite getting quite a way through the book, on repeated attempts was just unable to finish it. I found it boring at times and was unable to get into it. It was "interesting" but did not grab me.May give it another go, but struggled.There are better books around I believe. If you're intrigued by India, try A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth.
