Review: The White Tiger (Novel)

Novel: The White Tiger (Fiction, 2008)
Author: Arvind Adiga
Publisher: HarperCollins

The review is somewhat late (by 2 years, only!), but I wish to give some crisp review of whatever I read, then it could be a 50 yrs old writing. Yeah. Especially for those who didn’t read it.

• The White Tiger is first novel of Arvind Adiga and lucky guy won The Man Booker Prize, 2008, at first attempt
  
  
• The entire book is in the form of a letter to the Premier of People’s Republic of China, Wen Jiabao, who is scheduled to visit India and is keen to know about the development of Bangalore and the entrepreneurs there
  
  
• Story is of Balram Halwai alias Munna, the main character and narrator in the book
  
  
• Book is about Balram’s journey from a school boy to a tea stall worker to a driver to a murderer and to a entrepreneur. From Laxamangarh in Gaya Dist. to Delhi to Bangalore
  
  
• Enlightens us about the life and relationship of the dedicated servant and master in the democratic (?) India, about America returned confused being, about rotten bureaucrats and rotting Indian system, about the eccentric lifestyles of categories of people, about China, America and much more to mention here
  
  
• There are many moments when you can hear yourself crying out words like -- Yuk!...EEEEEEEE!(if u r a girl ;)), how he could!! And many of your personal vocabulary gathering
  
  
• You may hate Delhi and overall metros at some (rather many) points. Sometimes India too
  
  
• And you may hate your driver too, if you have one
  
  
• Its humorous, justifiable and unjustifiable at the same time, very angry sometimes and very true
  
  
• Simple and slangy in expression
