That's the beauty of it all. Reading my old review and comment, I sound very harsh. I would like to re-read this book and see what I think of it now. <br /><br />Also, I think it's a case of reading it as an Indian and seeing what foreigners think of a place that I am familiar with or as someone who is completely new to the area. The perspective makes a lot of difference.Shalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702425925479194019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877407.post-57244868719014123772012-04-02T13:38:10.581+04:002012-04-02T13:38:10.581+04:00I really liked the book.

The recurring ravens where also a nice detail, along with the many others that saturate the book. @Shalini: This book actually got high praise from famous writers, and won the Pacific NW Book Award.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877407.post-6000418393395265812007-08-19T11:25:00.000+04:002007-08-19T11:25:00.000+04:00Yup, it's an all round horrendous book....one of t...Yup, it's an all round horrendous book....one of the worst I've ever read.
