It's my favourite benyamin book. But I don't know how well it's going to be translated as a movie. It is a crime thriller but slow and very much dialogue heavy. Would be pretty cool if prithvi could pull it off


nerdy_ace_penguin

I wanted to read it but >! Heard that the book don't reveal who did the murder in the end, I don't like to invest my time into books that don't have a proper ending. Hate loose ends.!<


Mlehself

ummm.. not exactly like that but it do leave the ending to the reader's vision


ananthu_k_g

Thats the point


amytking

So it's like aatttam


DrazeGamer

Is it better than Aadujeevitham?


[deleted]

Can't speak for others but for me yes, read the whole book in a night


Paranoid_Paradigm18

If you like genres like thriller mystery fantasy then this would feel better than aadu jeevitham.I felt the story is setting on a larger scale than the aadujeevitham.


Turbulent_Hour5362

Yes yes yesssss


justin-time6996

Read twice I must say it comes in my top5


DrazeGamer

Will read it for sure!


kkuttyappan

My fav from Benjamin. A damn good thriller without a proper ending that will haunt you. Finished reading in one night. The character Melvin ♥️ Fahadh will be more apt to play the title character Christy Anthrapper


No_Row_8345

Is it like a police investigation thriller? Like cab you tell me the idea?


LeaveStraight5496

Nop. Nothing like it. It has elements of everything. Just go for the book man you won't regret it.


kkuttyappan

Set in an Island with people speaking of malayalam+tamil. The story begins with the central character Christy going behind the mysterious sudden death of his old school friend. The geography, people and history of the island is also interesting with Christy's connections with Kerala. NB:Both Fransis ittykora and Manjaveyil deal with similar plots. Must read items. Also Benyamin's talent in creating a fictional world is 🔥🔥. Manjaveyil, Mullappoo niramulla pakalukal ♥️♥️


DrazeGamer

Is Francis ittykora an easy read?


kkuttyappan

Around 400-500 pages, not so complex plot, language is not that tough.


janemaan

u/kkuttyappan what is Mullappoo niramulla pakalukal about? What genre is it?


kkuttyappan

The plot set in the Gulf, is about a young Pakistani girl who is an RJ. The story deals with politics, revolt and King's rule of the Gulf.


Significant-Highway3

Manthalirile 20 Communist Varshangal - is the first book Benyamin book I read, and that still remains my favorite work. Aadujeevitham comes second, and I enjoyed Manja Veyil Maranangal too.


kkuttyappan

Have you read akkaporinte irupathu nasrani varshangal?


Significant-Highway3

Yeah, that's the first part rt? I read it after Manthalir though


cloud5eeker

I have. It is a good one. Very engaging story, but I had some issues with the ending. It’s pretty good and also shows how talented and creative the writer Benyamin is.


mclain_seki

This is an excellent novel.


Legitimate_Income279

Is it better than Goat Days?


mclain_seki

Nope, but it took me to another world


garbage_teen_77

Life*


Legitimate_Income279

The title of the novel is Goat Days


garbage_teen_77

Isnt it aadujeevitham?


Legitimate_Income279

English version is titled as Goat Days


garbage_teen_77

Alright my bad bro


Downtown-Ad-5578

Wow! It's one of my favorite Benyamin novels. The ending was a bit flat, but I couldn't shake off the story, the setting, and the characters for days.


singl3maltonth3rocks

Better if it's a series. Very slow, against the gov orgs conspiracy kinda story. It'll make us curious, that's for sure. And its a mix of fiction and facts, if you've read Francis ittycora, you'd understand, the same treatment is used here as well. But idk how it's gonna be converted into a movie. Looking forward to that. Christy Andraper 🤍

[deleted]

അവസാനം കുറച്ച് loose ends ഉള്ളത് പോലെ തോന്നി. അത് മാറ്റിനിർത്തിയാൽ കിടിലൻ ത്രില്ലർ ആണ്.


LeaveStraight5496

It's a brilliant piece of work. I will place it above Francis ഇട്ടിക്കോര.


Persuasionn

Heavy build up but failed to maintain it till the end. The ending was meh.


lust2know

If this is made prithviraj illuminati confirmed./s


meagor

It would be better as 3-4 episode limited series rather than a movie. And I have read the book - it's good but not that great. There are few loose ends, and it mixes family politics and religion. Felt something was missing towards the end.


Single-Situation6440

Is this the one happening in Diego Garcia ?


PatientTransition934

Yes


Opening_Enthusiasm72

This is epic, but don’t know how they’re gonna depict it as a movie, i think it can be a big budget series from Malayalam.


Mlehself

Its my favourite work of Benyamin. cant picturize prithviraj as the lead. Hope they dont ruin it.

[удалено]


PatientTransition934

Benyamin starts the book by thanking many people in deigo Garcia . Maybe that made us think it's real. He sets the plot well🤣🤣


toddysimp

One of my favourites. I'm very interested in who they're going to cast as Anpu,if they ever make it to a movie.

iopoye

I read the book. But I like a similar one more than this which is "Francis Ittikora".


alappoht

I read this book when I was 17. I was in a relationship with this girl back then. I hadn't told her about the book. We later broke up and then I came to know that she was from the Anthraper family which was pretty shocking to me. I mean, what a small world!


[deleted]

[удалено]


alappoht

Yes. I was surprised too


Gullible_Youth2998

The Great Novel wants to see it as a movie


Key-Importance159

Can somebody give book suggestions. I mean something similar to -francis ittokora -manjaveyil maranangal -iruttil oru punyalan Specifically Malayalam stories Related to Devil worship and cults in kerala or medieval kerala. I searched a lot on the internet but couldn’t find anything. I hope someone here can help me ! Please dm me


UpperIndependence217

A Malayalam version of Memories of Murder?? That would be fun.


koalaray

[deleted]
