In general, if you live in Mumbai/Bombay and love the city, Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found is a must read and more in particular if you wish to know more about the 1993 Riot in Bombay. The author take you back to the Nineties and you feel like you are traveling around Bombay with the characters and re-living Bombay at that time. It will be unjustified on my part to do a review as I am yet to know the hooks of all about Mumbai, its vastness and I feel that whatever I know about Mumbai is less. Enjoy the book.
