Publisher's Summary:
One day a fakir leaves his small village in India and lands in Paris. A professional con artist, the fakir is on a pilgrimage to IKEA, where he intends to obtain an object he covets above all others: a brand new bed of nails. Without adequate Euros in the pockets of his silk trousers, the fakir is all the same confident that his counterfeit 100-Euro note (printed on one side only) and his usual bag of tricks will suffice. But when a swindled cab driver seeks his murderous revenge, the fakir accidentally embarks on a European tour, fatefully beginning in the wardrobe of the iconic Swedish retailer.
As his journey progresses in the most unpredictable of ways, the fakir finds unlikely friends in even unlikelier places. To his surprise - and to a Bollywood beat - the stirrings of love well up in the heart of our unlikely hero, even as his adventures lead to profound and moving questions of the perils of emigration and the universal desire to seek a better life in an often dangerous world.

A LAUGH-A-MINUTE BOOK GREAT SERVICE
I READ A REVIEW OF THIS BOOK IN A NEWSPAPER, THOUGHT MY WIFE MIGHT ENJOY IT. I ORDERED AND RECEIVED THE BOOK WITHIN 3 DAYS(3DAYS!). MY WIFE JUST FINISHED READING IT, AND ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. FUNNY BOOK- EVERY TIME SHE READ A CHAPTER I WOULD HERE HER CHUCKLING THEN SHE WOULD GIVE ME AN OVERVIEW OF THE CHAPTERS ALL DELIVERED WITH A BIG SMILE AND LOTS OF LAUGHING. QUITE HAPPY WITH OUR PURCHASE AND THE SERVICE WE RECEIVED- 6 OUT OF 5 STARS.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BE WELL BE SAFE
IF you need to lighthearted entertainment... THIS hysterical book is for YOU!
Despite the WACKY title I found this book hysterically funny. NOT laugh-out-loud funny but highly entertaining. It reminded me of the Pink Panther movies which I adored as a child. The pace of this book is FAST! I cannot wait for this book to be made into a movie. THIS is one book/movie I will ABSOLUTELY want to see!!! I loved , loved, loved this book.
Thumbs up for the Fakir
I tried not to read it too quickly so as to prolong the pleasure of reading this amazing new book. The creative author has produced a delightful character in the Fakir and has told his story in a most beguiling manner.
Two Stars
Not such a good book, read it for book club. Not very entertaining.
Quick reading, lots of fun !!!!!!!!!!!!
Fine fun book.
Not especially deep literature, but fun to read. Very intelligent writer
