Nenu review raayanu. Na istam.

[τεξασωινη βυλυσυ · Rating 3 out of 5]

On its release I was more curious than interested in reading this book because its RGV. And read it because its RGV (:P)and for its catchy title ofcourse :D. Well never imagined much better and a decent one than this, from a polemical person. It is a decent novel but the hype is completely overrated and there ain't any interesting turn or twist or rather a statement in his book. He presented himself in rather too diplomatic way in his so called autobiographical and didn't disclose any supreme secretes about him or others :/ :D
Finally I agree that its harder to put down such cluster of thoughts and a different point of view on paper that is understandable to many. That's why I gave it 3 stars.

As a follower of Rgv most of the things he mentioned in this book are known to me before hand. Rgv himself mentioned these stories in his media interactions in the past. So, no pains and no gains :)

[BHUKYA SURESH · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was very excited. I would recommend to it in my class

[Indu Priya · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book includes most of the incidents which RGV already discussed in his interviews. If you are already familiar with RGV's ideas and his personal experiences through TV shows, you will find it a bit boring. Otherwise, it's a good one.

It's a memoir written by the ramu,he reminisce about his College days and the journey during and after becoming a director, i emphasize on watching ramuism first which is available on YouTube inorder to get an introduction to ramu's thoughts and his deep philosophy on life,I got nerd chills during the read especially after assimilating ramuism and the ideas propagated by ramu, i would say he is definitely one of the greatest philosophers you would ever come across it changes one's perspective towards life and reality one perceives, in a nutshell if you are looking for wisdom you should read it.

Not an Autobiography Of A person but Autobiography of incidents which has changed a person's life from a commonly living man to a person who is inspiration to many . Really A very good book to those who want to know about how few things in our life can change us completely and to know about how every second in our life is important and mainly for those who want to Make life better ....may his thoughts lives on 😀

[Shankar Pandala · Rating 2 out of 5]

It is like reading a magazine articles at one place. also only 120 pages is written by rgv remaining is about others opinion on rgv and a lengthy faq section.

rating is for the way the book is written.
content is nothing new to a person who like him and follow him.

[Srinivas Vemuri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some points are good to think about in our own way. Some points are ridiculous. So ignore them.

I read this one after reading guns and thighs. Some of the things were already discussed in guns and thighs.

Q&A in the end are worth reading.
