Latest Read: The Prisoner by Omar Shahid Hamid

I read this wonderful book a few years ago. Am writing now because, life.

I loved it! Written by a serving policeman in Karachi, the book is riveting. It gave me a delightful look into 'that world'. We need more books that expose the beast that is Karachi while endearing it to the reader by being simple and direct.

Hamid went to Oxford or Cambridge I believe and comes from a family where people do not generally join the police force. An aunt knows his family and asked him what would happen if his colleagues read this book. He said that no policeman reads!

Recommend recommend recommend!
