Although I am not a big reader of war stories, the display of humanity in this book seems to be very powerful. Congrats on botd!

While this doesn't seem like a book I'd normally read, this plot line looks very interesting. I'll check it out.

Border Post 99 is OK, a book that contesting hard, not my kinds, but l learned from previews; "two rights would make one wrong in distresss." Nice read!

I've always had an interest in the relationship between India and Pakistan. Reading about the relationship that develops between these two sentries sounds like time well spent for me, it being comical adds to my interest in this book. Thank you for the great review.

Good review! The border between India and Pakistan is one of the most dangerous of the world due to the conflict between these two countries. Border Post 99 sounds like such an interesting read because of its setting and how the characters find their common humanity in the middle of the conflict between their respective countries.

After I read the review, I picked the smell of a new friendship blossoming between these two characters in the story (regardless their nationalities). The aroma is enchanting. Thanks for the wonderful review!

Indeed lieutenant mangesh is a persevering man following his 17hr+3hr walk from Indian army western command headquarters to Indian -pakstan border at the post 99 base. Being a freshly commissioned officer out of Indian military academy at dehradun:a 25 yr old and a no battle experienced soldier it becomes quite a heavy task handling unfairly characterised conditions of the no man's land at wagah. It is a land that didn't exist in official army map. The border which is running 2000 miles along the mountain tops, cotton and wheat fields and the thick conferous forest is the dangerous part to patrol with 10000 troops. Major jadhav saw it impractical not wrapping up post 99 even with the fact that it is a no man's land. Giridhari a man that enemies can not be able to suspect is used as a Porter and he had been doing this from his younghood,is used to dropping supplies only half a mile short of post 99 and this applies in his journey with sharma. Being now a one man show,sharma reaches post99 alone and he is jittery of sudden attacks from Pakistan troops who could be lurking around. Even sleeping is a great task that he sings the Haman chalisa which was once recited to him by his father so as to sleeps. (it is really a nice encouraging and interesting stor)

The relationship between India and Pakistan has always interested me. This book seems like it's a great read that touches the heart. Can't wait to sample it. Great job on the review!

[truebookaddict]

This definitely sounds like a war story with more to it. I like the idea of friendship winning over hatred. Thanks for your review!

[CrescentMoon]

[cashboy]

[Nabimanya Pamela]

From the review, the writer seems to be communicating to us about how much simple being human can be rather than concentrating on our differences as an excuse for being inhuman! Great review!

This review is well written, but I wish there was more of an opinion of the story and writing style. Much of this is a synopsis you can read on the cover.
