White Tiger, worth it?

[Yannick Grant]

Hi guys, I came across the White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and the description looked intruiging, but I was wondering is it actually any good? And is it fast paced or is it more of a slow "let-it-sink-in" novel?

 

Any recommendations?

There's a very small thread here about the book, although having glanced in there, I'm not sure whether it will help or hinder your decision about the book.

Haha thanks, and yes, having looked at it, it helps but I'm not sure in what way exactly

I've just started reading this yesterday, and I'm enjoying it so far. It's an eye-opener into life in India, with the main character being quite full of character. Also, key points are revealed early on, but not enough to give the full picture, so there's a bit of mystery there too.
