A House for Mr Biswas by V.S. Naipaul
4.0

When I came across “A house for Mr Biswas”, it was described as a comedy. It turned out to be the most depressive book I have ever read. One long pointless life full of petty deeds and dispairs among equally unlikable and petty characters. Is it a life worth-living? I don’t know. Can it be changed by the systematic changes in the society, development, education and growing economy? Probably to some extend. Is it a good book? Yes. Would I recommend to read this book? Absolutely not.
