review 1: Tarun Tejpal !This is the best book by an Indian author i have read till date !That says it all ! I took this book from my college library because i was fascinated by its title ! I have an uncanny love for books with personal pronouns in their title!!!Could be made into a classic movie !(I wish Anurag Kashyap reads this book and makes a movie out of it )Quirky,fast paced,philosophical,abusive and has a typical Indian-ness about it.3.75/5 from my side
review 2: This is a tough book to read. The story of life in India is gruesome, and the plot is buried under such a lot of detail that it disappears. An investigative journalist and fornicator of the highest order is told that there has been an assassination attempt against him. He is closely guarded by a cynical ... morepolice officer whose main preoccupation is getting by. Some young men are arrested, but there is curiously no proof that anything at all happened. There was probably no plot at all, and the young men, whose sad, horrible histories are described in detail for hundreds of pages each, are probably innocent of these charges, though not others.I couldn't remain in the world of casual anal rape of boys, throw-away children growing up in the streets and learning to prey on people, police corruption and hopeless disrespect for humanity. It sickened me, even though the writing was superior. less
