Relation Concering Books Johnny Gone Down
Nikhil Arya has fallen. Once, he was an Ivy League scholar with a promising future at NASA; now, at forty, he is broke, homeless, and minutes away from blowing his brains out in a diabolical modern-day joust. It wasn't meant to be this way. An innocent vacation turned into an epic intercontinental journey that saw Nikhil become first a genocide survivor, then a Buddhist monk, a drug lord, a homeless accountant, a software mogul and a deadly game fighter. Now, twenty years later, Nikhil aka Johnny is tired of running. With the Colombian mafia on his trail and his abandoned wife and son ten thousand miles away, he prepares for his final act, aware that he will have lost even if he wins. Or will he? Is there any greater victory than living a life that knows no limits, a world that has seen no boundaries? From the bestselling author of Keep Off the Grass comes the once-in-a-lifetime story of an ordinary man fighting an extraordinary destiny. Can he pick up the pieces one last time or will Nikhil, now Johnny, go down for good?Declare Books Supposing Johnny Gone Down

The author somehow magically constructs a character thats not only shallow but too much Mary Sue. An interesting starting chapter with the Russian roulette & all but as the story proceeds you see the author himself have lost interest in telling the story. Towards the end, the writing clearly depicts the authors hurry to meet the publishers deadline, and the reader is pissed off with all the drag and this for a novel with barely 230 pages. But still the story (which is more of a screenplayI really didn't expect much when I picked up this book..but boyyy, was I wrong! Gripping!!! Couldn't put it down for a minute until I read from cover to cover.. it was one hellova' world tour that my head is still spinning from.. for those who intend to read the book.. Don't read the blurb, or summary or whatever.. JUST READ THE BOOK!!
Pretty exciting roller-coaster ride, this one is.
Fantastic book. A must read.
Breezy, enjoyable read... Almost Shantaram-esque in its scope of character evolution and exploration of universal themes of love, loss and change...
The time i read this I was on a strictly Indian author dosage :) I must say that they didnt disappoint me. Johnny Gone Down is an out and out paperback. I have always thought paperbacks to be like the fast food edition of much more elaborate hard cover recipes. I would love to see this made in a Bollywood movie. I had thought of Vivek Oberoi in the lead when I had read this.
