This is a wonderful book. I wish I could read more books like this. Imressive!

[nthao81]

The cost of freedom in India is not cheap according to the book. Balram is a social entrep. and goes to show that India's son of change has paid dearly with the lost of him family.

[arvind13]

Aravind Adiga is a prime example of the current generation of english educated cosmopolitan/NRI Indians and intellectuals who just parrot whatever horseshit that European anthropologists and missionaries told about India. His book is a good example of the nehruvian contempt for Indian culture

I have just finished reading the book and I must say that I became fond of Balram and now I'm missing the book. Hope the author will continue the story someday. One of the best books I've read.

Fabulous book...deft and subtle, a wonderful ear for the language and character. I want to recommend you listen to the superb audio book version narrated by John Lee (unabridged, got it on iTunes). I though the read version really catapulted me into the story and the lead character, Balram. Wonderful listening experience.

If you like this book, you should read ''shantaram''.

[piroschka6]

but now in the arabian country people show their longing for freedom....i doubt that indain people dare to do the same...........beacause the democracy there is bound to corruption and nepotism.............its too much religious superstition and fatalism there,and the drama of the cast system which hinders changes to rise.........

the book may be helpful,...adiga is a.good writer !!!!!!!!

the cold and hard reality of india is something that will not attract tourists, but conscious minds, this country has evolved in many ways but something fundamental keeps missing: social justice and mobility between the classes. when i saw the ads of "incredible india" and their appeal to tourism, i never thought this was the hidden reality behind the exotic lies of the government.
