As we progress through the voyage that constitutes the struggles of a young Krishna trying to travel to America, a bewildered and confused man working odd jobs to make money all the while juggling studies to maintain good grades, we find an older Krishna torn between his promise of returning back to his homeland or staying in a country that made all his dreams come true.
The book is written in a simple and easy to understand manner but the narration falls flat even though the premise of the book being so promising. I wish there was more depth to the anecdotes shared and at times they were told in a manner that fails to evoke any emotion while reading them.
Some of the situations that are portrayed as ‘adventures’ came off as callow and juvenile and I didn’t find them as inspiring as I expected.
It is definitely a good attempt at describing ups and downs in one’s life but I found it hard to be inspired by.
