Last Man in Tower by Aravind Adiga

4.0

Aravind Adiga's Last Man in Tower presents the gritty, unsheltered and true picture of the dog-eat-dog city that is Bombay. Amidst novels presenting Mumbai as the city of dreams, the Last Man in Tower is refreshing in presenting the ugly side of the rat race that is taking over this city of dreams - where life-long friendships and relationships perish when faced with the allure of money. The lack of a happy ending and the lack of any change or remorse in the characters reflects the reality of the city and its inhabitants who have no time to wait, grieve or reflect on their actions.
