I was a bit wary of reading this book, mainly because I feel like that for almost all award winning books! This book did surprise me though.

The book uncovers casteism, rampant corruption, exploitation of poor etc.. deeply rooted inside our society , through the life instances of driver turned murderer turned entrepreneur – Balram . The language is lucid & raw ‘n’ gripping…but still i wasn’t impressed much..overall an ok read.

The White tiger is one of the best books I have ever read. The narrative style delivers this story in a very simple way. This simplicity is something that I have seen only in Munshi Premchand’s writing. Inspite of that, the book is never predictable or boring . It really held my attention and I couldn’t put it down and couldn’t stop thinking about it even weeks after reading it.

Being a story of a school dropout of Bihar to one of the most successful entrepreneur of Banglore, and writing his story to the Premiere of China, I was so engrossed that I completed it in 3 days. You will definitely love reading it like me, and appraise the simple and easy to understand English of this booker prize winner.
