Books...White Tiger...Arvind Adiga


Hmmm...finally I finished reading the 2008 booker prize winner book "White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga. I had borrowed it from my dear friend shankar like two months back. We were supposed to have a review session post my reading. But things went into a tizzy with the recession and I just could not get back into finishing the book. Coming to talk about the book, the author has really kept the flow simple and intriguing. The characterization is also perfect. He has like pictured the life of the central character from being a toddler to finally a successful enterpreneur in simple and logical flow of events. The beauty of the book is actually this. To cut the long story short, the book actually gives you the picture of a common man who is smart, who braves poverty and dares to dream to be out of drudgery. All in all a very fine effort by the author and worth the recognition.
