I had a chance to read this book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.The aspect I liked most was that chokkan has devoted quite amount of his pages/effort ,almost 2/3 rd ,for AR's initial days .The transition from being a key board player to ad music composer to MD debut in Roja has been very neatly captured and described in detail .The way he weaves information from articles/interviews/news is remarkable . I ( as a proud member of this group for sometime now ) would have definetly read that piece of info but I would have never thought about that the way author is narrating in this book .
The author being a huge IR fan himself as he is saying in his post ( http://nchokkan.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/arr/ ) brings that common man angle to almost every instance he describes in this book .That according to me will be the USP of the book as it is unbiased and would appeal to generic audience. Even for die-hard AR fans I'm sure there will be 2- 3 pleasant surprises in this book. I noted that every chapter in this book it titled after an AR song. I'm hoping that Kizhakku ( the publisher) would soon release an audio book and english translation of this book as they've been doing for their best sellers so that non-Tamil audience can benefit .
