Panther by Chhimi Tenduf-LaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: I got the book for free for an honest review.
The book is about a Tamil boy in the war torned Sri Lanka. His journey from being trained to be a suicide bomber to become a cricket player and finally settled to help others like him.
The author nicely captured the essentials of the theme but I wish that the book was a little bigger to capture more about the life of the Tamils in the Jaffana peninsula.
The book starts slow but captured imagination after around 20th Chapter and picks pace.
The author has nicely portrayed the hatred between Tamils and Singhlese but was careful enough to not make it one sided bashing.
The book nicely conveys the message to respect the differences when it comes to racial problems.
I loved the story and it's characters. I would rate it 8.5/10.
