Roight! I have a confession to make, I only read this book to fill a spot in a reading challenge, there is no way I would have picked up this otherwise. It has over 9000 reviews on Goodreads, that puts is well into mainstream and out of my comfort zone. The last mainstream "award winning" book I read was a major disappointment.

Luckily for me, this is a fantastic book, I have never experienced satire from an Indian's point of view. Balram, aka The White Tiger, is a top notch narrator, here he is telling us how to be an entrepreneur in India, how to crawl out of "the darkness" and make a man of yourself. How to manage all the chaos in that country, how to work the caste system and how to get away with crimes.

This is one of those books that makes you blurt out a laugh and then instantly cover your mouth cos you're not sure if it is PC to laugh, you can sense the humour in the white tiger's voice so I guess I'm not going to Hell this time around.

This is a good fun read and even though it is over 300 pages it doesn't feel like it, you'll soon find yourself whizzing through those pages.
