It is hard to over state how infamous Veerappan was in my childhood. I remember hearing about him on the news and I remember hearing about his death as well. This entire book feels surreal. I was laughing out loud while reading it and at the same time thinking about the persona that the governments and media create around the outlaw.

I read this book before 6 years when I was 18. but now when I read it the book is amazing and inspiring to know that it does not matter who the person is but they have lots of knowledge that we are not aware of. Book is inspiring about how Krupakar and Senani hold their ground even if they are facing a dacoit who is feared by the south India (If the narrative of them is true!). I loved the intricacies of the details they have told about the forest animals and birds. It also shows the bad side of the government who does anything to keep their hands clean by blaming those who are against them. This also shows the power of media and how their narrative is changed according to their will.
It's a pity that the two major television news channels in Tamil nadu is controlled by two major parties which is the ruling party and the opposition party whoever comes to the power they have the narrative over the news as they wish.
This is the most interesting Non-fiction I have read until now.

Written in a simple format, this tale, which is a true story, recounts an incredulous two weeks spent in the jungle by two famous wildlife filmmakers as hostages to a seemingly wonderful host, who was believed to be the most notorious forest brigand, with a intimidating moustache, which became sort of an icon.
The book makes the reader aware of comparative reasoning to one sided argument and knowledge, which in this case is presented as the author's brief insight into a rare and compassionate side of an infamous criminal, known for his elusiveness and feared for his ruthlessness.

Nice read. The author boosts himself a little bit here and there. It was interesting to read that Veerappan was a good dancer, had chance to get into hollywood etc.
Overall the book is a good read. I would prefer you to read a little bit of Veerappan before starting the book if you had not heard about him before.
