Overwritten

Considering all the prizes this book received, I thought it would be worth reading. I found it so overwritten and the plot so overwrought. The endless similes really started me annoy me. I've heard Ms. Roy speaking out about issues and I admire her courage, but I found this almost unreadable.

Brilliant

Arundhati
Roy is one of the most talented writers to emerge yet. Her
unpretentious, sensually euphoric style makes this novel a "must read".

The best...

This was the only book I could not put down. Yes, a fascinating look at another time and place. Yes, crafted as though you are living and breathing and worried about the chutneys. I loved it because it taught me how to be an engaged reader and mostly why we need to trust gifted writers.
My vote for all time best book ever.
