Although there are troubling aspects to this novel for a modern reader it is still a gripping and fascinating read. Kipling writes beautifully about India, his hero's love of life and sense of adventure are very endearing and the subsidiary characters are intriguing. At the heart of the novel is the unlikely friendship between Kim and his lama, a Tibetan abbot, which is delightfully portrayed as the lama searches for enlightenment and Kim searches for a place in life.
