Reserved cfor the Contemporary Asian Literature VBB and moved up on the TBR Pile.
Selected by Dancesports from ApoloniaX's Fall '09 contemporary Asian literature VBB.
Though it seemed that Adiga was attempting irony and humor, that wore a little thin, and I found the story more disheartening than enlightening. I hope other readers will enjoy it more!

Thank you Shroffland - I am adding to my everincreasing book mountain.
I found this a fast and easy read in comparison to some other books set in Asia.
This will be moving on soon.

On its way!!!
I found this in my mailbox today--I must have won it in the post-VBB raffle. What a nice surprise! Thanks, dancesports!
The story gave a vivid picture of the contrast between the haves and have nots in India, told from the point of view of Balram, a driver. I found Balram at times endearing and at times disturbing, and the story at times blackly humourous and at times sad.
