zemenchik 's review for:
The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
by Arundhati Roy
Even though I read some of the reviews of this book, I was still surprised to see how political the book was, and how little I know about politics in India. But! Arundhati Roy is always fun to read. It is so amazing to me how she can change her writing style to match the characters she's writing as.
But! This is four stars and not five cause I thought that the timeline was a bit confusing at some points... like the landlord to Tilo back to Anjum. I dunno, maybe it's cos I put this book down to finish the McCann one and I lost track of who was doing what, but I loved how complex everyone was and how there was a lot of diversity with the characters, their attitudes, and their worldviews. It was a fun read, although really politically heavy but an important read regardless.
