A review by skynet666
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
3.0
I listened to this as on audio, which I enjoyed because of the authentic accents. Most reviewers either loved this book beyond words or didn't like it at all. I'm giving it a 3 because it is all the things the reviewers say about it including the book summary:
Although the effect is occasionally chaotic, like the jumbled colors of a kaleidoscope before a pattern clicks into place, the complexity of Roy's mosaic redeems her.
Most of the prose, the story, the feelings, and the lessons are definitely in the 5 category, but it was difficult to follow at times, which affected my ability to enjoy it as much as others did.
