Summary: A Book Rich in Imagery
Review: Being a poet, as well as a writer of prose, I can appreciate the gift of this talented author. This book, rich in imagery, is an undertaking that few are able to match. As a reader I am taken into rooms so dark that I can only remain awhile, there is such sadness there. And yet I am drawn back again and again to learn more of the lives that are lived within; perhaps because, although I may not relate to the experience, I can relate to the pain.

Summary: Intriguing Writing
Review: Dark Rooms is unlike anything I have ever read. Written in prose-like fashion, Dark Rooms is interesting and arresting. Here is a different culture, a different way of thinking and living. Dark Rooms is thought provoking to the western mind and should be considered as a literary work.

Summary: Thought Provoking!
Review: Deep thought is a haunting thing. Even more haunting is the way this author pulls life from the recesses of Dark Rooms, turning thought into pain and lost realities --past experience finding a home in poetic charm.

Summary: Carefully crafted words..
Review: Each string of words pull at your emotions. Verse so moving, breathtaking that you cannot stop reading it until its end. I have never read anything like this. When you finish the book, the story remains within your heart.

Summary: raw and unadultered
Review: I picked up this book expecting it to be like Vikram Seth's Golden Gate, but found it to be an enticingly Indian and raw outlook on life and living in helpless, pride-driven generation. The book that comes to mind is Manil Suri's Death of Vishnu. The central characters in both books are drawn along the same lines. The verse is simple at the surface but though-provoking at the same time.

Summary: Reminds of Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Review: reminds me of Peter Taylor & Gabriel Garcia Marquez
like the excerpt very much. The verse format of the writing reminds me of some experimental writing back in the 1970s by Peter Taylor, and the seedy feeling of lost grandeur suggests Gabriel Garcia Marquez (especially 'Autumn of the Patriarch'). Both were highly accomplished writers, so the comparison is meant as a complimentStephen Gallup, Author of "Expectations"

Summary: Amazing Imagery!
Review: Startling images very well depicted in an unusual & surprisingly engaging format. I resisted this one, since I couldn't imagine a book-length story told in verse form. Now, I'm glad I gave in & checked it out. Excellent writing & beautiful, deeply-moving story. Topnotch work!
