At times this book was a lot of fun, at others it was a little ridiculous and I found myself rolling my eyes. Overall a fun satire of India's politics that I enjoyed reading but I'm not sure I would it read it a second time. Also a little disappointed that one of the most selfless characters had to suffer the worst faith in the novel, not sure what the point of that story arch was, except to continue to make a commentary on the racial politics of India.
