A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry

3.0

Yeah. Not crazy about this thing. I understand the hoopla - it kept me engaged as I followed along these four persons "stories" in this quasi-historical-fictiony sort of way, but really though?

Obvious. Trite. Predictable. Borderline exploitive (in a reality show train wreck sort of way). And how much more could he have possibly shoved into the last 50 (or so) pages of the book?
