My Thoughts:

The plot is surely very different from what we normally read. This is the first time that I am reading a book that is revolving around poker game and is also a perfect blend of emotions such as love, struggle and spirituality. At the beginning the story is a little slow paced but later on it picks up the pace and will surely leave the readers eager to know exactly what is going to happen with the characters.

Characters are well developed. Each character is having their own problems and they are trying to overcome them and get out of them. The conversation between Alia and the Buddha gives us some insights into values and life.

Language is simple and lucid. There were times in the beginning that I felt that the story line was a bit confusing but as we proceed further it gets better. The book cover and the title of the book is apt to the plot of the book.

Overall, it was a good read and I would surely recommend this book.
