First of all I found it really hard to digest the genre in which it falls in- Fiction. Any honest Indian cannot deny that the plight and the mistreatment which is faced by the protagonist is a commonplace around the country. Exceptionally simple and easy to read and the reader can expect a lot of dark sarcasm and negativity.

I picked this book because this “booker prize” wala stuff. But the way writer has justified the murder I didn’t like that part

Excellent book…worthy of the acclaim it has received. You feel sorry and angry at the same time for the protagonist/antagonist who shows you what reality is.
