The White Tiger by Aravind AdigaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dark, raw, humorous, sarcastic and different. Aravind Adiga grips you by the neck and makes you want to read a bit more everytime you decide it is time to take a break. Loved every bit of it. There's a kind of energy that exhuberates from every word. A kind of thirst that gets passed onto you to know what happened to the driver who loved his master that lead him to slit his throat on a rainy day and feel completely at peace with it as he heads out of the rooster coop and becomes a master himself. More than anything, I like how Balram (neither the protagonist nor the antagonist to me and may be described as the successful entrepreneur sharing his story) has interesting takes and observations on the society and how he uses metaphors to get you to feel what he feels. After a long time, a good read, in the truest sense.
