This was an entertaining read that touches upon the class divide of modern day India through the lens of an upstart boy from the lower caste.
I initially discovered this book via Netflix trailer. I then read the book and watched the movie and immensely enjoyed both.

Reread this book as I want to watch the movie and it’s been almost ten years since I read it last. I enjoyed it more than I remembered I did last time.
