Set in a raw and unromanticized India, The White Tiger-the first-person confession of a murderer-is as compelling for its subject matter as it is for the voice of its narrator: amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.

At first I found it hard to get into and then it hooked me at the end of the first chapter. I inhaled this book standing in line with nowhere to go and nothing to do, so my attention was fully in the story. I found the voice very authentic and the character present. He drives the story with his curiosity and willingness to learn. An amazing storyteller. I could easily believe this story as if it was true. ๐๐๐, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ค๐ง ๐๐ง๐๐๐ข ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐จ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐๐. ๐ผ๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ข ๐ค๐?? ๐๐ค๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ค๐ง. Itโs definitely a social commentary on the caste system still very present in many parts of the world. And I love how we follow Balram from a submissive worker who when scorned grows cynical and conniving. He always had it in him though, you can tell that from the beginning as he does everything to reach his goals. Funny, smart, and brutal. I loved it. (Also, watch the movie, they actually did a great job with that one too!)
