Results tagged “The White Tiger” from Liverpool Echo - First Rule of Book Club

As some of you may know (I go on about it enough) I've always wanted to visit India - The White Tiger and Shantaram are two of the reasons why.

Well, I've finally decided to go for it and have booked a two week trip to the country in November.

So with travel in mind I thought I would review a slightly different book ... but one I think you might enjoy...

It had been on the shelf for a while and thank goodness, my holiday gave me the proper time to devour The White Tiger!

I love a good book set in India (see my views on Shantaram which is, incidentally, supposed to be Madonna's favourite book)

Anyway, The White Tiger. It's a properly decent read; funny, slightly troubling, comically immoral and yet very very believable... 

Just returned from holiday and, of course, I stashed a few books in my luggage!

I grabbed The Piano Teacher at Manchester Airport, concerned the three I'd packed (Outliers, Everything is Illuminated and The White Tiger) wouldn't be enough.

It was lucky I did, I finished the last book the day after we landed home so I judged it exactly right.

Soooo, why choose it? ...
