Book Review: My Name is Abu Salem by Hussain Zaidi

The one thing that keeps me buying Zaidi's books is the inimitable manner in which he becomes a fly on the wall of Mumbai's most dangerious criminals and fiercest cops alike. 'My Name is Abu Salem' tracks the life and times of Abu Salem - the man whose crime career is perhaps best known for Gulshan Kumar's brutal murder and whose personal life is best known for his relationship with Monica Bedi.

What goes against the book however, is the small parts that you will find slightly repetitive in case you have read all of Zaidi's earlier works. However, that is an inevitability... Zaidi has to cater to first time readers and fiercely loyal readers (like me) alike.

'My Name is Abu Salem' is not Zaidi's best book but it still has Zaidi at his best. 

Recommended.
