review 1: I started reading this book with a lot of curiosity little realising the disappointment in store ... the author is unable to give even a rough sketch of the subject...full of some socialy-relevant and not-so-relevant political reportage of past events...there is nothing in the book which merits ur time..even a wiki wud b more informative..On second thought why did the author bother to take up this subject is beyond my understanding whn very obviously he had no material in hand.. perhaps just to encash-in on the NaMo wave..???
review 2: Before I started reading this book, I knew that it was no hagiography and that was what drew my attention to it. At the start of the book, Mukhopadyay promises a fair and balanced perspective of Narendra Modi, but after reading t... morehe book, one word strongly makes its presence felt inside my mind - 'biased'. Oh – and it is a little dull and boring as well.Every now and then during the course of the book, when the author begins to realise that he is being unfairly critical, he does try to redeem himself with something along the lines of 'to be fair to Modi....', but the way in which he has attempted to portray Modi is extremely unfair nonetheless. The sheer bias has also been aptly reflected in the level of research that has gone into Modi’s alleged strengths and weaknesses. The research has been extensive when exploring allegations of Modi being communal, manipulative and so forth, as Modi-bashing appears to be a pet topic for the author. But when it comes to his strengths, which according to the book is minimal, the level of research is almost a big fat zero. While Modi may be no saint, the systematic targeting and vilification in this book is unlikely to be of interest to anyone besides the habitual Modi-baiters. Do read this book if you are looking to be disappointed! less
