I've finally finished reading this thick book! (Within 3 days!)
I bought this book a few years ago, it was just $10 at a book fair, and I did not regret buying it!
It's quite a nice book, requiring much of my patience at the start, but rouses your curiosity as you continue!
The plot is rather simple, you can guess it from the title - 'Six Suspects'. A murder must have happened and there are six suspects.
However, when you start reading some introduction at the back of the book, the interesting part was that the six suspects came from different parts of the world, had different background, and different social statuses.
The background of the book was set in India (because it's written by an Indian author), and the book reveals about the social disparties within the Indian society, and how the rich and influential oppress the poor and powerless.
Even though I'm not an Indian, and have never been to India, but through the book, from the eyes of different people (the six suspects), I could see India. And I'm not sure if this book illustrates the actual image of India, I hope it does and hope it doesn't.
This is the second book of Vikas Swarup, who has written the famous book 'Q & A' which was being filmed as the famous movie 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
With simple title, good language and deep concern for his people, he leads us to the world of India and feel the desperation of the Indians.
I'm starting on a new book that i bought at page one for $8. It is about 1 1/2 inch thick!!
Gonna finish it before sharing what is it abt here!
