This was a struggle. I have no doubt that VS Naipaul is a great writer but this book was disjointed and I felt lost its way. The first half is alright the rest though I found uninspiring and dull. I kept hoping I would be proved wrong; unfortunately that didn’t happen. Not sure I will be rushing back to read another VS Naipaul.
