Review: Another example of writers for whom English is a second language, but whose writing is first class by any standard. - A most enjoyable reading experience.
Review: A Shocking Picture of India - I decided to read this book after having really enjoyed "The White Tiger". In this book, Aravind Adiga does another terrific job of describing the realities of India. I am not a big fan of short story formats as I prefer a longer and more comprehensive stories. I think the thing I did not like about these stories was the lack of respect people seem to have for each other in the Indian culture and the negative outcome that occurred to virtually all of the main characters in these short stories. I have been to India and met many Indians and I cannot fathom that it is as bad as portrayed by by the author. Nonetheless I appreciate his story telling skills and plan to read other of his books.

### ⭐⭐⭐ ok
*by J***D on April 18, 2011*

I so loved White Tiger that I was thrilled to discover Between the Assassinations. This book is effectively a collection of short stories told from the perspective of different people all residing in the same town. What I liked about it: - occassionally characters meet (although dont expect much of this). - the author provides a choronological account of events that take place in India and Kittal which then relate to the short stories that you have read about. (However, I thought that this should have been put up front, as it would've made far more sense to the reader whilst progressing through the book). - accounts of India and Indian life are portrayed very well and doesnt make the reader work "too hard" to imagine him/herself immersed in the setting. What I didnt like about it: - no story line (this was "sort of" picked up with the chronology of events at the end, but by time I had gotten to this I had forgotten some relevant content in many of the stories so it was lost) - quite slow moving I think the author could've worked this better perhaps by developing relationships between the characters in the book or providing a bit more convincing storyline. In any event, I do recommend this book, just not highly. I didnt thoroughly enjoy it but it was readable.
