Review: After watching the movie I was deeply intrigued about the book. I loved it. Much better and made me live this incredible story even deeper than the movie. Facts more in detail, extended descriptions … all of this made it -amazing. Great story, beautifully told. The only “to improve” thing is - book cover. Movie actor is not the “story teller”. So for sure I would love to see more authentic and unique cover for such a great book. That’s the only “to improve” thing that I can highlight. All the rest is simply fantastic! Review: This book, based on true events, changed me. What an insane turn of events for Saroo. It's mind blowing that this happened to someone and that it's only one of many stories alike in these countries. Highly recommend reading!

Très bien reçu, en avance en plus ! Je l'ai pris en anglais pour continuer d'apprendre la langue . c'est une très belle histoire, touchante , qui me rappelle beaucoup de choses vécues personnellement. Une grande poésie d'humanité , retranscrite dans un film que j'ai vu deux fois au cinéma tellement il est beau et émouvant. D'un point de vu personnel c'est une histoire à lire et à voir :)

If this book was a work of fiction, I'd say it was a fantastic story but it is the true account of a young man's incredible journey from being lost nearly a thousand miles from his home village in India and his survival on the streets of Calcutta at the age of five to his his adoption and new life growing up in the privilege of a middle class family in Australia. What makes the book such an incredible read however, is Saroo's search for his birth-mother and his reuniting with his Indian family whom he had not seen since he was five years old. The story is so incredible that if it weren't so well documented, I'd not believe it to be true. This is a tear jerker at times, but ultimately it is a story of compassion, perseverance, hope and unconditional love. The film was amazing, but the book gives insight into Saroo's disappointments, fears and ultimately his joys when meeting his long lost birth-mother again after 25 years of separation. A must read.
