I can give this book a "must be read" without any hesitation as it is a really great book. The action starts from the first page onwards and goes on for the three days wherein the story occurs. The story is written as a narration by separate characters of the story. Each narration which makes up a chapter justifies that narrator. There is no real villain character in the story. All are made to do what they do or are made to be like how they are now. They are all real world characters.

The overall plot is that of a robbery. But it goes on to be much complex for a simple thing like that primarly because the thing which is going to be stolen is something which can eliminate human life without much of an effort. Another reason is that there is heavy measures taken to prevent such a theft. Yet another reason is tremendous bad luck to almost all the characters. This bad luck also applies to the good people as that of the thieves. So the story turns out to be very interesting.

Everybody should try to read this "must be read book".
