aditithedot 's review for:
The Glass Palace
by Amitav Ghosh

reflective
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
The book gets off to a slow start, but then after about 200 pages it gets gripping. What Ghosh lacks in character development he makes up for as a "chronicler of history". An enormous amount of research effort has obviously gone into the making of this book. My favourite character was Dinu.
