Susan: I liked the black humor as well…Balram was an interesting character, for sure! I haven’t read anything else by this author (yet).

I really enjoyed this book, despite the rather black humour. It was interesting to feel so many different emotions about the central character Balram – disgust, pity, fascination, amusement. The complexity of this character is what kept me turning pages.

I have another book by Aravind Adiga, Between the Assassinations, on my TBR pile. It isn’t released here in Australia until the end of June ’09, but was released elsewhere in 2008. Anyone read it already?

The book is really good. i finished it in a week. the language is updated and very easy to ready. It’s also quite funny, because of Belram’s psychotic sense of humor. =]

Mari: I think anyone traveling in India would enjoy this book. I felt like sometimes I was missing some of the satire because I have never been there.

You’re welcome Kathy!

Karen: Ultimately I just liked the story But so many reviewers are focusing on the big themes. I guess for me, the themes are fine, but if the “story” didn’t do it, so what? *laughs* Glad you agree!

Thanks Vasilly – I think you’ll like this one.

Valentina: Thanks for the link to your review…I’ll update my post to add it

Jill: I think you’ll like this one…it is very different from most of the books I read, but I liked it.

Seachanges: Thanks for stopping by! And thank you for your kind words.
