review 1: Karan Bajaj's first book, "Keep of the grass" was a funny take on an Indian guy, born in the USA, who comes down to IIM to sort of, go back to his roots. Its was filled with cultural satire, humor and pieces of wisdom, small pieces, but pieces mind you. Johnny Gone Down, however was a bitter disappointment. While the book itself was forgettable, the real issue at hand is that it is not original. Anybody who has read "Shantaram" will tell you that. But more than just being heavily influenced by the concept of it, JGD, lacks sincerity and honesty. I had high hopes for the second book by Karan Bajaj but it has failed me. I would say, avoid it.
review 2: A tale of a blue-eyed MIT grads and how everything in life seems to have gone all wrong till realization dawns o... moren true pursuits and purpose of so called life. Takes you from India to US to Cambodia to Thailand to US to India in a roller coaster ride as we travel through the life of its protagonist. Theme/Plot/Messages/Style of narration are all great but I guess somewhere it didn't turn out to be the gripping,cant-help-turning-the-next-page sort of novel. Nevertheless good effort by Karan Bajaj. less
