Right! I have just finished reading the Booker prize winner White Tiger. Not a comfortable read. Not, in my opinion, a prizewinner. A very surprising choice as so many reviews have noted. However, it is very worthwhile reading. It begins on a light note and I settled in very quickly with that wonderful Indian humour. But the book darkens towards the middle and by the end it wasn't pleasant. I was pleased it was over this morning. All this shouldn't put you off reading it. It goes like greased lightning.
It is really a book about servitude which was why it made me feel so uncomfortable. Written from the point of view of a successful entrepreneur who broke out of the prison of servanthood.
I'm really not sure what I think about this book. But I would really like it if everyone read it (she said bossily) so we could talk about it.
