3.0

Fun but slight. The story moves along at a fast clip and includes a lot of Morrison weirdness, but there's no real room for the stakes to matter or the characters to grow. It also feels a little odd to have the protagonists be British-Asian. It obviously feeds into the Hindu/Buddhist flavour of the Morrison weirdness, but it is very clearly a non-British-Asian writer writing about that experience.
