Fast read. Surprisingly nice read, in fact. Even if the mehendi clad hands on the cover of the book gave me the initial doubtful heebie jeebies. A cord was struck, I don't know how. Probably because books set in Delhi give me a sense of familiarity these days. I kept sneaking into the bedroom to read a few pages during one of our usual, insane, substance abusing weekend parties. That was how I knew that I would probably recommend it to people. Not an overwhelming read by any margin, but happy making nonetheless. Recommended, if you aren't too snooty a reader.
