The white tiger by Aravind Adiga gets a 7 out of 10.
Humorous, irreverent, it is set in Delhi and Bangalore. The main character is a driver and servant to a rich man.
Good points chesilbeach.I have mixed feelings all told.
Quite complex really.
I began to find it dragging so gave up.
Who knows maybe I may try to complete it at a later date.
He's a good writer but at times the plot didn't strike much of a chord with me.
After 600 pages I gave up.
I agree it's well written but I do not like the less believable aspects eg a change of job or role for a character and the stilted representation of Dr Curlew's views about mental illness and women. Not to my liking.
