I really enjoyed most of the novel. And then the sewing up of loose edges and the overexplaining of every last detail ensued. Maybe I would have really loved it if it had been edited a little more. Maybe if it lost a few pounds and pages.
Another book with a lot of violence... but an interesting premise and a nice glossary of Hindi words
