Co-authored by Mani Hayre, the book has incredibly structured characters including the protagonist, ‘AJ Rai’ whose traits and mannerisms which mirror Amo have been captured and presented so well by both authors.

We find AJ revealing his secret battle with depression to Dr. Sonia Khan over three decades of internal conflict, determination, tragedy and quite often – laughter!

“I’m not just saying it because it’s about me, but it really is a brilliant read. The response from readers has been phenomenal. I’m truly honoured to be able to share details of my relationship with depression and hopefully inspire others to talk more about their troubles.”

– Amo Raju

The reviews on Amazon and from literary experts simply endorse the tremendous story and writings skills of both Amo & Mani.
Here’s just a few!

"A very good read. Amo Singh Raju and Mani Hayre have tackled subjects that are not too often discussed and have done so in a uniquely creative way. Raises awareness of how disability and the perception of disability can affect people in different ways. I'm really glad I made the time to read this book, wouldn't be surprised if it became a film in the not too distant future. Highly recommended"

"The fastest I have devoured a book in a while! Such an easy read and a definite page turner. The book carries many themes, from resilience, to rebelliousness, paving a path for yourself when society had a certain image or plan for your life. It highlights the fact that we should never give anyone the permission (including ourselves) to put us in a box, or to define us. The power ultimately is in our hands. And this book perfectly encompasses that, whilst taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions. I had tears of laughter one moment, and frustration the next. The Story of AJ felt like something so many of us can resonate with and learn from."

"The novel is extremely empowering, sensitive, and riveting. It also depicts how challenging it is for men from South Asian backgrounds to talk about such prevalent issues. It’s not only a compelling look into Amo Raju’s life, but a much-needed device that will spark progressive discussions. With rave reviews and a daring piece that challenges cultural conceptions, Walk Like A Man is a novel that everyone should sink into."
