Review of 'The White Tiger' on 'Goodreads'

What I liked: Interesting look at India. The narrator is a driver, so the story is told from a servant's perspective. Having never been to India, I don't know how accurate it is, but it paints a pretty jacked picture of corruption and castes.

What I didn't like: At times it was hard to follow the story (maybe because I tuned out?) so some of the twists didn't seem to fit together. Also - I was thinking it would be similar to "How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia," and it some ways it was, but with a MUCH darker edge to it.

Overall, I probably would NOT recommend it to your average fiction fan.
